Silhouettes in the Dark

An eclipsed moon

A silhouetted path

Dismembered contours of the dark

Cast me into inescapable gloom

 

My path meanders

Through a shimmering abode

Of undeserved riches

Avarice swells from an empty room

 

Drifting dusk

Blemishes the Raven sky

A shadow of guilt beclouds my being

Spells my nearing doom

 

I flee from the glittering mirage

Into the moonlight 

Sheened in its brilliance 

I paint stars on the grass
