"A Void"

 An all consuming shadow and flame

An inscription placed on swollen womb

Through and through I am ordained

I would relieve your golden moon

kneeling in aw of immeasurable pain

Feeling for someone here with whom

Bent beneath its terrible weight 

I might share this undoubted doom

Never neath the startled skies

Dare I speak, it anxiously cries 

Lest I seek to sanctify 

Before a light first caught my eye

And if time bury a luminary illusion

Of what worth is living at all

Please you let an inevitable intrusion

When thirst and hunger to me call

This is what it means to be human

Pillars of salt surrounding Gomorrah 

A memory instilled with vigorous fusion 

Where still your specter doth enthrall

It's a full moon in the skies galore  

For hope is a pleasure I'm loathe to outlast

In their flares I have seen what it bore

The seed of my heart so long since cast

Experience cemented in a metaphor   

The visions of wilder storms surpassed

A place to remain, and nothing more

There came a mysterious void in the vast
