Carry me into the night
Vesper and vengeful, black as oil
Soothe my exhaustion and pallor
Within your sinewy fenestrated foil
Because I invoke your pained facade
As I contemplate mine, mourning and demented
In the solitude of sublime sorrows
Branded and calloused
A clean slate blank with envy
I beseech your genuflection and apathy
Indulge my desperation and despair
Find me in the dawn’s glare
Time accompany me
In the vicissitudes of your vaporous presence
That I may forget my humanity, frailty, enmity
Awakening rebirth from his ashen absence

@Nyl Your comment seems to have disappeared/ sublimated, or have gone invisible. My apologies.
@Nyl Thank you, often I find it challenging attempting to encapsulate emotion in brevity, given my propensity for verbose verbiage. :)
Stamped with your trademark despair. :)
BTW Red, I was thinking. Just for kicks, how about writing something completely different? An antithesis of this theme?
What do you say? :)
@Manech Why not? Is it getting too dark in here? I fear my words are beginning to sound repetitive, albeit ordinary. Thanks, I think my next one would be lighter. Despair is such a strong word. Do I sound so?
I believed that I already posted a comment here but it's nowhere to be found. Err. Glitch.
Anyway, I said that I admire your marvellous rhymes - they're like chimes. The title fits every line of your poem.
And I envy you for being able to compose arias with semblances in every line-ending.
You write amazingly.
@basterda Oh my. I've only read this now. Thank you so much. I feel so unworthy of your generosity. You (emphasis) write amazingly. Your poetry is far more layered and dexterous than mine. I find my travails in the lyrical too self-apparent at times. But this one, has been such a fun and cathartic experience.
