The Shadow

Artistic ovation so eloquently delivered
Scantly clad ambers of happiness
Explosion of animosity
Despair spoils the spectacular decadence
Brazen Amethysts delight
But darkened geodes decays my lullaby
And Leaves a angry corpse
The ghost of yesterday is the entity of tomorrow
It follows behind me and masquerades as my friend
But the foe seeps out and reveals himself
Deadly clout, I am powerless.
