Empire Down Ii

In my empire of dust…
I sit on a throne built of ruined, rust 
I sit, n think about what has been lost

why do images come and 
linger, ghosts in the aftermath 
of emotions holocaust 

why do thoughts come undone
dark, like shadows marching as one 
to haunt & taunt my vison-scapes

as I watch my images 
aline like cruciform’s upon my edifice, 
That singular rock; Golgotha

my eternal scorn 
my dogma
in my empires of lust
my empire down 

wrapped in thorns of rust. 
I cry empire down 
I dig into the dust.

my empire turning to dust…
