Emptiness Sears Within Our Eyes
roaring righteous ravenous rage
blooming warped inside a cage
evolving and eating the solution
bathing and swelling in pollution
unsteady digits of weary animals
claw paths through closing portals
opening gates screeching light
banishing shades of lucid night
guarding the secret seal
pouring out what is real
through exhalations of fire
devouring flowers of desire
until charred clouds decay
breaking apart bitter clay
unveiling veiled visages
spreading severed messages
like flighty feathered seeds
sowing thick roots of deeds
into hearts in heaven and hell
locked within a warring spell
the question is a cancer spawning
a hunger for the answer dawning
repeated shapes of stories binding
everything feeling is always dying
