Longing

I long to rid my soul

Of sickening screams of sorrow.

But senseless silence stalks and snarls

As longings long to quarrel.

Watching stars fiercely fade

I fondle dreams in fields of flames.

But frowns of foes frighten fruits

And fruitless hopes remain the same.

Gobbled up by greedy giants

That gather and garnish gazing grounds.

Guided by glares and grins of grief

Into a grave of gruesome sounds.

I sleep in dungeon of dreadful deeds

That feed off drops of darkened tears.

Dressed in dread and desired death

Deserving doom deepens fears.
