Night's ShroudA Chapter by Nusquam Esse
As Night Wears Long...
High above the trees the world itself all I have become I gazed heavenbound Seeking those skies we once shared To wreath myself in shadows To feel the lambent grace your moon-bourne smiles Shroud my every thought in flickering stars But above? Jet black//devoid Only a whispering Shadowed sprawl Festering, bisecting, infecting My tainted heart As only iron can ... and the stars? But seething roil within my every tepid touch. Where, where was the sky we shared? All those years adorning myself within lunar reminiscence At long last, the night had shrouded Itself from me//itself within me And sealed away our time this illusion of space. How long must one gaze to a sky they dregged in solitary sorrow? How long must poisoned blood flow those astral filaments within? How can one scream out the void that scrapes out this expanse we forged? How can one cast off a darkness that wears you immense, as a night sky? Dine hunc ardorem mentibus addunt, Stella, an sua cuique deus fit dira cupido? © 2021 Nusquam Esse |
