Heart of Darkness

Behold the light
reveal dark birth of death

Silhouettes of pain
dance in rhythmic writhing

Horned clouds
dispel calming hues

Muted words
scream past deaf ears

Full blossomed tree
now barren, decayed, leans

Contempt fulfilled
sits bone on flesh

Exhaustion bleeds
rage condemned breathless

Behold the white knight
twilight's late arrival

Blackened waters
carry me away

Tide now swift
myself no more

Deaths black birth
life lost to light

-J.G.Smith (05/18/05)
