Unbearable Beauty In Black

Unbearable Beauty in Black The light has fallen down the endless solid cliffs dejected there it sparkles lures on impact’s flight Gunshots from a black revolver six shiny bullets one bright explosion flashes mindless radiance The hangman darkly clothed in jester’s gown mocks tarred and feathered un-dyed blaze A dose of over un-pigmented pills and pillage sweet dreams of quiet and one last muddy void Black is unbearable the pastel brush demised but after thunder slowly comes the rainbow A sentinel cries crisis please do not head the call the change of guards disguised in shining armour Requires holding on to blackness’ shielding voice until unbearable becomes bearable once more Pitch-miserable epiphany shouts when you cannot want not paint no more yet flaking scraps find colour Once you resist seductive guile beheading escapades embrace depression as your strongest torch of change 07th November 2016

From reading this one, I would say you already have a very fine vocabulary, Kai, but glad you learned a new word with gossamer. it's such a poetic word!
