Into blazing skies
The raven flies
Mirrored reflections of beauty sought
Perceptions of light
Hypnotically bright
In the end, all comes to naught
But fool’s gold
Loss of control
When all is said and done
Lesson learned
Feathers burned
Singed by a fiery sun
Plummeting rapidly down
Crashing to the grounds
Of blinding reality, stark
Jagged shards splayed
Of trust betrayed
Into dying fragments of heart
Bleeding and battered
Emotionally shattered
Metamorphosis begins
Broken shell shed
Transformation of the undead
Consequence of sins
A solitary creature
Masked features
Eyes of black so cold
Self-imposed isolation
Eternal damnation
Mastered self-control
The moon glows red
With blood unshed
Darkest clouds enfold
In death reborn
No longer torn
Blackened heart…
Carnivorous soul.
