Blight

Blight, Growing, Toxic seeds Festering deep Within cracking souls, Shaded beneath blackthorn, Watered by innocent's tears, Blooming like demonic cancer, Thriving on infinite misery, Dissolving veils between conflicted worlds. Faltering, earth trembling, Demi-Gods raise The pyres of hellfire, hauntingly glow, Among backdrops festering hate. Eerie silhouettes reflect A macabre ballet— Twirl, twist, contort sin. Sulfuric rain Snuffing out Hope's rays. Blind.
