Stained Again

tayne

Its existence defiled,

Only a potion remains

Scribbled in splattering ink

Dictating that which it holds

Spilling from within,

Soiling the spotless set yet again

 

Desired to chain it

Relentless pursuit of midnight’s qualms,

Kept it in place, never of its trail

Drenched in that soggy mound,

To which it once loathed

It turns the page—

ink still wet—

and writes again.

    This creates a mental picture that is hard to erase. Well done
