Antiquated

I'm a fairly old fashioned guy in many aspects - caught out of time.

Darkness looms over my fragile head tonight

Impuissance of my soul a decrepit defense

My own impetus enticing me deeper into the void

These hands can not carry the unnameable mass upon my chest

I am but a vessel

I am not free of sin

I am but a man

Without and within

Circumstance meets with irony over prerogative's charms

Youth beckons confession's end with Capulet habits

Prickle of remiss sweetened by hell's siren call

To embrace the torture of idolatry personified through longing

Raptured hellfire take me

Ascension gained as I burn

Char true till ash and cinder

Let the winds take me in turn

No embrace so pure as to sting heart and soul

Lips parted do not meet but an empty breeze

Stumble of context an expanse unexplored by proxy

What wounds I bear give solace to my forsaken resolve

Love or scorn matters not

With passing time ones vision clears

Personification of that which I am not

Propensity of singular zeal fades then appears

Tower of clockwork machinations stymie rational thought

Fears breed ripe of admirable hell-bent purpose

Drowsy of fixation with a cast of curs and miscreants

Oblivion by virtue of blooming spring and callowness

Heed not the words yet unfollowed

This is but a means to my foreseen end

Cherish that which consumes you completely

For my heart, soul, and will can not bend

Heed not the words yet unfollwed
This is but a means to my foreseen end
Cherish that which consumes you completely
For my heart, soul, and will can not bend

Did you mean to leave out the "o" in unfollwed...on purpose...
the way this evolves...and goes within the lines...
I liked how the first and then second stanza...
and so forth decrease in wordage...
as if there is a certain balance...
you're try to perceive to the reader...WI...

You caught a typo I missed. Thank you for that.

[Glen Yumang Manese]

You're welcome...other writers get sophisticated...unfollow'd... and so forth here in the language to break up the scheme of things...

[Wynter Ignatius]

I do that from time to time.
