caught in the struggle to shine bright

upon the barred ledge

glass slats between the eyes of an iron mask

cut the shapes for new streams of light

twilight unites

these constant rivals in luminescence

surviving the mystery inside stillness

hypocrisies silhouette creating the ties that confine

inseparable unseen companion

the keeper of time

introduces in a constant whisper

a plea for rage to hinder and blind

the simplest answer casts across dark severed lines

 shadows take a bow, urging a curtain call

dark dominates over a phantoms trail

dragging the images of reminisce

hope tumbles and stumbles  

the resemblance of leaves in descent

tossing with the winds erie kiss

ever adrift in the never of nothing at all

 moonlights soft glow

roam a cemented showcase of slivers

thinly threaded beams of silk aspire

motion’s constant weave and web

turning a glimpse into a chain of clarity

crawling beneath an imposing despair

resisting the trade of insight for obscurity

I own this place hidden from shine

perched beside shadows design

inspired by a flicker to dodge and climb

beholding to the feel within a promise

steadily reaching for the light inside

to clear this barred ledge

Author's Note

Entropy is written and inspired from a long look into the dark, the light, the nothing, the struggle of good and evil making its way into my prison cell, a system that can see in only the black and the white, while paying well the side of depravity. If you are still reading I Thank You and God Bless.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this read. Everything about it is perfect to me; the word choice, the flow, the pictures, the imagery, the rhymes, it's all perfectly placed. Nice job.
