Radiant though prostrate
lying before the
fall
into slumbering sleep
I stumble though
vivid memories of
beauteous joy linger while
silence stretches
through the night and blankets
the space between us
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I breathe a well-deserved sigh
end of day start of night -
sundown blurring my fading sight
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE find, after study, the best
qualities oftener emerge
after repeated struggle; however
THE madmen, they continue
long past the sane
would quit and categorize as inane
such stringent sanctimony;
THOSE persons begot
of some-such rhetoric
ruminate upon their vile condition
and soon scapegoat a hanging pawn.
OF necessary course,
the wretched refuse endure
a conflicted sentiment, a willful hatred
married to their eternal soul.
O shall they burn
a crest of ash and blood
and forge the scar required
to so ensure a continued cycle -
WE now find, deliberating,
that soon all pawns will be depleted;
tomorrow, in what state of disarray
shall the empty board lay?
