Whim

Wanted to write something simple. So here's that.

Whim

Chilling like a guillotine dead on the marksman

Blessed tempestuous in the devillands of the godhands path

Shed your second skin,

Like a withered villain of the wind

A hull of open wounds outcast by sin

Like an elevator shaft within

A shell of what’s been past

The hunger for my wrath, akin

To wielding a guillotine blooming execution by beaten staff

The one who climbs the highest mountains at his peak

Yet called the giant shoulders he stands upon unbalanced, weak

Where the wings of the infinite begins

The ending impending on but cruel man’s whim

To preach of such resilience, still silence is all that speaks with rhythm

Beseeched by fallen stars, and all to reap the wildcards

We are only but the odds, of the luck of what we draw upon

A portrait carved in the beyond

The darkness isn’t loath

It is the final oath

And if iridescent it were to be

To part the worldly, see?

Like a feather turned to pen

The endeavour is the man

A heavy heaven to withstand

The severed vengeance of this land

And although I fight for peace

To live by scythe we are but wheat

Waiting patient to be reaped

Silver-plated angels crowned with wreaths

The one who towers over all the sheep

Can’t carry the weight below his feet

The foundation that would wreak

Havoc on the rabble who without help

Would never reach

To touch the moon at glistening eve

Claiming castles in the sand to siege

I love the imagery and emotion thrown into this. Especially this line "To live by scythe we are but wheat
Waiting patient to be reaped".
I am a first time reader but, it will not remain that way!
