The moon is lathered in a milky sheet A duvet of languid longing And although my mind is not discrete It cuts atmosphere dawning With ambience only found in those who loved and those who have perished from it To persevere past the pyres of sanguine allure is to cultivate the spirit of future past A time corrupted through vices, internal unknown Like an ashtray of device, it lays to you unbeknownst A tool of destruction, Shiva's scythe A bouquet of olive branches, a path to Christ Follow it blindly through the forest of harpies And emerge a new soul, doused in shards of grief But cut from the glass your mind refracts Your body remains But your soul is complete.
one of the first poems I wrote a year and a half ago.
