Dark Reflections
DARK REFLECTIONS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I praise the darkness, so I may hide
The gargoyle memories within reside
The thoughtless actions, I undertook
The damage caused: I dare not look
The avaristic path, I chose to follow
Castrated my senses, left me hollow
Failed to hear, the desperate cries of woe
Preferred to ignore them, the choice I chose
I raided the coffers looting and plunder
Now I find myself alone; is it any wonder?
I am surrounded by a mountain of wealth
Physical treasure, did not save my health
I’ve become remorseful, or, could it be fear
I contemplate my future as I await the bier
