Flame-less nightmare

Leave it for you to describe

Anathema, yes I now believe its a curse
For whenever words plead,I murder the verses

No more hiding, tonight I confess
I've lost the will,I became heartless

Perhaps few more drops of ink and another bottle of whine
Rather an aching mind that hungers to shine

Few more sighs to smoke with corpses of night 
Another dance to the symphony of black and white

Around the fire of who I am, who I never aimed to be
Burning the innocence of poems that now pay the fee

Surrendering to the power of the rhyming flames
That dominates my heart and my soul it tames 

Ashes of my world, liberate among the air
Unleashing colors, a new kingdom they declare 

Rage, they silence, for my duty I've served well
No longer I exist in this picture, my soul is theirs to kill

Judgment day, I've waited centuries for your justice 
In the gaol of my mission, counting down every Augustus

Yet I ponder sympathy through this jury
Fear paralyzes me and I begin to worry

Dear lord, many lives I've vanquished to please my own
This sick desire seems to be all I've ever known

It is time for me to taste the bitter of my poison 
For I am nothing but clay, not a demon that needs exorcism

So mercy don't have upon my soul 
Strangle me so I can have a reason to stand tall

Wow, this knocked me over. It's dark and punches you right in the face. Like a wake up call to justice.

'Ashes of my world, liberate among the air
Unleashing colors, a new kingdom they declare'

Like all of it, but that's my favorite, Nice read.

I have come to this piece 3X today and keep getting called away. Powerfully dark piece. The only thing I would look at is possibly changing verses to verse, paralysis to paralizes and So mercy to Don't have mercy upon my soul. I truly enjoyed the adventure that is your work of art.
