Aperture

Black photograph
Naked eye in flight
I'm by the river's mouth
Where they drowned us shut

My life in shadows
I won't have it any other way
The will of sunspots
The chase between night and day

Black photograph
Evil eye against my plight
I'll be myself
See it with your own eyes

Moon shaped scars
And the blade that made them so
Tincture of blood in fear
Of prolonging your sacrifice

Rife with shadows
The edge of a corner
A salute to your deference
Piercing away the tension

Bleak is my bonfire
I'll wait for sundown
Weak is my conscience
Awaiting deliverance

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
