Dark Vestige

Lethal syllables, drenched with vulgar,
unrestrained rage, smash
brutally into a precious soul.
Mighty jabber plunders and mutilates
a once innocent, red core.
Nothingness swallows dreams,
while time secretly buries the last
of shimmering memories.
Not of mother earth,
nor heaven or hell,
oxygen is merely ingested
without thought, without desire.
Viciously, he steals life from her,
the beast with many, eternal names.

Patience, a true virtue,
simmers quietly until long last,
a fire sparks within a frozen spirit.
Unstoppable flames of regret char
demented chains of spoiled, unholy spite.
Ivory fangs sprout to boldly
deny the beast any succulent kisses.
A stronghold of enchanted memories
explode to blind the wickedness
and digest its wrath.
Fully renewed, she wipes away
smeared travesties of illogical purpose.
Divine molecules of endless mercy
hungrily devour an appetizing soul.
