Still Remains

By Mark Miller © 02/19/2014 Compass of memories held loosely Misdirection pointing in iota Exquisitely anchored hangs an eminent noose Minds of subdivisions wage illusion of wars in retribution Fragments estranged states out of place in time and space Mirrors alone in fears absent of frames reflect emotions after forever Autobiographical absence in self reflect sedimentary memory Shattered pieces held together through novel history of cursed metaphor Reference into live characters pretense lies symbols scorn design of substance. Features sensations realism in dreams creation a demons personification; Subserviently locked behind shades shadows seeks the many repentance, Fate of shame determines designation into bestiary summons If offered crown of thorns I refuse, Defacement of natures subliminal defiance Diffused screams of thunder leaves pride aside embracing dark's grace, In nearness lies the wait in reality's unconsciousness, The gradual self-effacement of my dead.
