SOLEMN DUSK
by TRIXSTER
The unrelenting ravine of doom
lies close below.
I cling in vain
to a delicate string of sanity.
The sacred cloud of ideal hope
slips away from my forlorn heart.
My faith in peace
has withered into
the fatal reality.
My once undeniable strength
is drained through my searing scars.
And our futile sacrifice
for the freedom of humanity
is forever spoiled by
the truth of a
blunt and merciless irony.
Suddenly a sharp snap
sends me to plunder
into the vast barren
of fathomless demise.
Silent shadows come forth
to shatter my hollow soul,
As failure stings my final breath...
A solemn dusk takes
The last flickering flame
and suspends the world
in an eternal night.
