Non Real

My brothers killed me for a song 
an antithesis to kiss for a chaste tree. 
I hold my viscera in cupped palms. 
Their eyes burn like flaming windows. 
An evening primrose smiles at my stupidity. 
Questions have no full stop, I grieve. 

Why did they punish me, for my lone voice? 
I die daily amidst the barbed 
Hawthorns for the sake of posterity. 
The ribbed cage of desolation, in the kingdom of potencies. 
The innocence drops like, 
a terrified mirror on floor. 

Death will obliterate, the lights from blue eyes. 
I adored a dream, which always stayed in shadows, 
The moon will grab a cloud, 
creating a music of eternity. 
The non-real will become a solid absolute.
