Onyx

Wings black as midnight draw back 
from infernos façade 
Secret devices sharp, 
keen of talons and man-made MAW 
EYES; Scarlet, pumpkin fire orange at the heart, 
sleek silence across an industrial park. 

A Golghota of wasted landscapes 
of dark homes dirty secrets 
die in shadowy shallow pools lit by starlight.

Silky silence of doom gleam 
something slithers slides 
ruination in its wake 
it knows the deepest 
Darkest Hidden things 
In all of our lives. 

As a shadow, it glides across 
those who are foolish enough to witness... 
It drives burning engines 
Of our known deepest pride. 

It’s wings are of Raven claw 
in Hue and Design 
Sharp black onyx with a hint 
of Crimson at its core. 

Give the devil its do,
Keen as a razor, it cuts our silent eyes 
his thoughts 
his regrets
His desire.

IT is so very much more,
it watches form time
Waits in the home…
A heart, Onyx and black.

IT rages, willing for war 
the anger 
the hate 
IT rips and it BOARS
in the shadows of man 
It Cover the darkest of lands 
the silver shade of silence. 

The massacre of innocence 
Infernal devices turn as onyx wings burn Black 
They draw back from an intricate façade
talons razored keen wired for flight.

As Scarlet, pumpkin fire orange at its heart
it knows all and lays waste to sanity
to reap when it desires.

Golghota of wasted city-scapes,
of dark dirty secrets 
in all of our hearts 
all of our homes
