Silent Shackles

Where does despair go?

Does it vanish or disappear?

In the distance I can hear

the skulls chime in the wind--

hollow bones rattling like the

skeletons of my sin!

 

Try as you may

to blink away

the macabre, gray-green glare

of the death of your hopes:

So you are bound beneath

despair's, wicked, ragged, ropes.
