Ashes

WL Schuett

Truth hidden in lies

Satan in the books on fire.

Haunted by the educated smoke

and the whispers of knowledge 

lost in the wind .

 

Frightened by the empty soul

who’s facing eternity alone .

Slithering evil in snakes eyes

lightning crawls inside the nerves

welding eyes open in terror.

 

Confessions of sleepy loneliness 

In the restless path that follows 

the smoldering residue

and ashes of literature.

 

Demons in the shadows of dreams

Roughhanded angels deferring 

to the resplendent ones 

who propagate lies 

and burn our books .
