Year 2017

In the dead of night I leapt

And the eve's frozen head

Was lit up with flames

Blinding me with illusory hope

The roaring in the sky resonated

Like thunders at dusk

With the voice of wrath

Echoing the torment that I had

My vision blurred

As my heartache fades away

A coursing river then

Flooded my cheeks with warmth

My lips bent like the night's crescent moon

A sign of an eclipse's last seconds

The dagger on my chest pulled out

Numbness flashed in a second of lightning

In the dead of night's obscurity

My hands pulled out a flame

Its embers touched my skin

As they turned into ashes in oblivion
