Streaks of Fire

STREAKS OF FIRE
only dust
    remains
 no life on display
an infernal hell

farewell hope
   blackened
        within
a tarnished cause
         compromised
beneath its glow

this rendezvous
 perseveres
         a sympathy
 to carry forth
undeterred
   intent to divest
& manifest
    but yet
survive
as a famished shroud
of vehement dissent
            to the wrath
that once
         was worn

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
