Deceased Heart

looking beyond discovery 
within one universe
the dark side 
faceless without moon
illusion shadows
taking you there
were a fire burns
heart burning dreams
nightmares of reality

a maze
of colours
begin fading
imprisoned eerily
invading black cells
opening hell's gate
eating the light
meaningless hurt
inflicted upon ache
the animal inside
begins to roar

deep churning emotions
mixing feelings 
in a cauldron
slowly dying inside
to enter the land
of  walking dead
love eats into pain
demonic torture
cold face
of truth

light within reason
slowly coming out
of the dark
clouds shedding tears
a crow caws
entering grey area

one bell strikes
tolling slowly 
echoed in 
the deep cave
a heart died
out of love
here lies
one broken heart
buried

Perfectly imaged. Great lines throughout and the last stanza so deeply moving.
