Artemis; Nothing Ever

John McChord

In darkness and shadow solace folds

A verse so sweet and sudden spun in ravenous prose

The face of certain poetry lies in pale petals of darkened rose

Surely dusk falls and halts action of life, her face summons falling breeze in freezing coals

 

Her nature haunts me in sadistic schemes

Suddenly she ascends, with steady pace her reflection encompasses humanity

Oversight of all, Artemis the cursed child views ill will and plots of fiends

 

Your sheen floods my eyes and burns my flesh

That I might be set to rest in waking haven

Craters and scars compose your image in painful gaze my thoughts caressed

If I call you down might I hear your voice, nothing now, quoth the raven
