He Poeticaly Sees An Ebon Eventide

Poetically sees…
an ebon eventide with cascading vapors ascending,
gaping over shores of ripples that thirst for redemption-
mounts with founts that peak with utmost desire,
reaching altitudes that make constellations cry. 

He stands on a lone rock with ease; 
for he is safeguarded-

And he poetically sees his reflection in the reverie,
ceasing his verses of dark syllables; shading the night-
he wishes his bones weren’t too brittle for healing, 
yet he knows only a muse that a true gift can bestow. 

“Ivory stardust falling upon pebbles of shackled stone,
darkness seeps into skyline wearing fear of the unknown. 
Silent stars listen as they shine with a black undertone, 
for there are shadows of grey silk reaching heights alone. “
