Gossamer Heart

Gossamer Heart

The wind howls violently beyond my opaque asylum
Animating erroneous obsessions
Encouraging doubt to weigh heavy along its path
And I, through black rose lips, curse the incursion

I sit here perched upon diaphanous throne
Shoulders hunched and head hung low
Dark curtains of feathered silk cloud my sight
As untouchable ghosts invade my thoughts

Peeking through the prosaic strands
Imperceptible light pierces the nocturnal sky
Phantasmal shadows leave mesmerized blurs
And I hold tight, my gossamer heart

Blitzed by these nights of pain
Shadows of abyss set flame
I cannot speak..
I choke on shame..
When the wind gods howl i hear my name

The darkness of a fragile heart
Slowly being torn apart
The pieces break and melt away
A love lost..In a heart's decay..

Cobwebs cover my broken soul..
My faith is lost..In a story untold..
The future?...Will we ever know?

And as I sit here
Peeking out the window
Into the cold and dreary night

I glance upon a shattered mirror
Where reflection bears no soul
I reached for tainted pen
And colored the page in shades of grey

And as I neared the end
Broken and decayed
I wondered if you would be
The guardian of my gossamer heart.

Your command of the language and your ability to word-smith is remarkable. You stand above the crowd. Another 10.

amazing write again and so very haunting, love it

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
