Beyond planets stars and galaxy 
Past even faintest nebulae

Far from the pull of gravity

missing, the magic
  stars shrink
the moon cowers
  all that's sweet turns sour

heartfelt sighs

Unseen but ubiquitous,
Savage and surreal,
If not curated but contagious,
Annihilative and aerial,

Then lurking, now loose,
You are the silent stone sepulchre,
Tangling, tormenting; transient truce,
An asphyxiating, aggravating and...

How can I fetch what's inside me?
It's a mental scream I can see,

The Sedulous Knight

Prostrate souls taxes, lain of blood-stained field,
still, toils an ingrained meaning they had sworn,
past distinct dead plus dying, still, naught yield,
