Blight

An eclipsing purpose

Ignites resolve to fervor

Casting shadow tendrils

Trembling along the walls

Privy to secrets seeking

Abhorrent and admirable words

Alike, their surface shimmers

Synonymous to keener eyes

Now extends my ivory irises

Embracing the black pupil

All consuming, their vortexes

Digesting all for but a sentence

Just as no love persists long

Without sacrifice at its hand

So no craft will embody

Persistence without quarrels

I cradle this blaze knowingly

Disintegrating doubt's burdens

With eyes embroidered by violet

The sheets turn barren and cold

Black and white wings alike

Encircle this silhouette

Diffusing long after dusk

In the mud, tumult and havoc

Are budding allies of misery

For only in their presence

Can endurance unearth discovery

And die, though this might

To tomorrow's coming light

If only for this night

I am briefly ... alive

Turning plague and blight

Into secrets now sifting

Sincerity to keener eyes
