Sara Jama Poet Etheree

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.
