dark heart rising w.i.p.

Stealing forth
Pressing back the night’s intent
It shivers past
Reckless abandon
Filling its abscessed heart
With deranged expression
Twisting its claret gaze

Feel its gaze
Piercing through your heart
Stealing ambition
Bravery
Determination
Crumple beneath the weight
Of its unwavering stare…

Shadows rent
Ravaging talons stained
Dark and shining
Expansive wings unfold
Eclipsing chaos
In Awe’s void

Shoulder past,
Limbs torn and bloodied
Bite back screams
Straining for freedom
Behind tight pressed lips
Drawn white and bloodless

Unholy screams
Tearing through sanity
Until reality dissolves
Shatter consciousness
Laying open
The way to madness

Ensnared by the weighty
Entanglements of
Guilt and Blame
Cast forth by innocent hands
You cannot advance

Steal forth grim reaper
Belly stained yellow
With unnamed filth
Repugnant breath giving rise
To noxious mists

Soiled hands clutching
Tearing at clothes and flesh
Defiling all
With leprous pollution
That chokes and blinds
You cannot escape contamination

Carrion fed bastard child of fear
Jealousy’s offspring
Expunges ambition
Delimitates impetus
While desiccating enthusiasm

Intolerant haranguing
Echoing the madness of doubt
Lost to the true purpose
Of your heart
You falter,
Trapped by desperation

Reviled, rejected
Cry out in pain
And longing infinite
For revelation is never
Long confined

For the truth
Resides within you still
The final bastion
Against the dark.
