Fleeting shadows, wisps of darkness
Arrested breath
Illusion?
Flashing beacons, wings so bright
Racing mind
Confusion.
Scarlet portals, sinister gaze
Rising fear
Delusion?
Light is darkness, darkness – light?
Woven webs
Corruption.
“Nothing to fear. Do as thou wilt.”
Questionable fantasy
Propagation?
Angelic sonnets turned to sneers
Devilish growls
Deception!
Holiest Name, the desperate cry!
Bloated pride’s
Deflation.
Beware little children! And woe to all
Caught within
Submission.
