Hymn of the Dying Moth

Hymn of the Dying Moth

A Poem by Scarlet Jackal
"

Older one I wrote... Hope it isn't still up on an old account

"
When night has forever descended, I lie utterly soulless
Moths seek the flame as their grave
Reaching out for a rope to asphyxiate me
But time is still a curse, and home is where the sun dies
Abandoned
Strangled by the burden of life
Could there be a realm where nothing is eternity?
No breathing, suffocating, living, existing...
I never pray: only decay
Realize that hope is a falsity
Death met rebirth and now there are no bright skies
The air still bleeds for you and I
Pain speaks for everything
My reason must be a faint lament
Living as an infernal plague
In the dead of every season, the wind will carry my cries
Time is still a curse, and home is where the sun dies...

Who am I? It depends on which one of us you are asking. I am a lover, a poet, a man of romantic ideals to never be fulfilled. I see many things, I count many stars but I never reach what it is my own.. more..
