Dark Art

Hailed masterpiece
Coiled from desire
Kindled like fire
Of euphoric bliss

So high, you levitate
So far yet near to hallucinate
Distorted image, moving lines
Intricated to hate and despise!

A paradise bogus
Captivated in incubus
Drowned to the surreal
Of what seems so real

What can be more peril
Than rooted from core
Freed by the evil
Turning hands to gore!

Fools! Victims of a fad
Bewitched elated jack
To dark scheme clad
In hues of white and black

Break now the enchantment!
Asunder fake adornment!
Dangerous imagination
Only leads to deception..
