NIGHTERRORS VI beyond the veils of sleep
A mask
Cracked but standing
Not fallen
Yet hollow
Eyes etched into the ruins
Trapped between what remains
And what has been lost
Thoughts through the rift,
A mouth, open yet voiceless
Whispers out of place
Where the winds speak no name
And stone withers memory
Interwoven
Thorns crawl heavenward
Meek n determined
Reaching to spires, un-obtained
Faded into ash
Once a kingdom
It, without words
spire now shadow
Piercing what remains
Purpose forgotten
weight of eternity
Something misbegotten
Into fractured skin
Behind the mask, eyes stare
Fighting the stains
darkness lingers
Eyes, hollow they are,
Beyond the ruin keep
Beyond the walls of time
Beyond the veils of sleep
