When Shadows are no more...

[img]http://maliha.blogspot.com/shadows.jpg[/img]

when all that is to be written has been squeezed out
the last drop of ink
has dried
parchments folded
my soul stands convicted
of untold crimes
my soul stands shivering
in the icy claws of death
an age of prophecies
fulfilled.

the masses are dancing to death tunes
limbs writhing in pain
horror descends
clouds of Mercy dissipate
the worshippers are blind
the rest
heartless
voids existing within billows of darkness
clutching at every straw
the sun continues to shine
but not for long
the moon continues to reflect
the emptiness within

blood bathes the desert sands
as the howling winds wipe the traces
stark footsteps
tracing
lines
of
despair
redrawing maps into ages of
ignorance
reliving the agonizing story
that keeps repeating itself
tick tock
cycles of death
moaning round and round
we are the shadows
of yesterday's darkest illusions

Explosions
awaken my senses to the madness
of today's nightmares
Destruction
Thick smoke circles
today's crumbled homes
reliving death scenes
minds turn obscene
terror gleams
in eyes yet to be born
innocence
has no abode
in a world poised
to attack

terror reigns
the snake has unveiled
its venomous fangs

worshippers stare fixedly
in horror

blind.
blinded

cowering behind dense fogs
of confusion and awe

till the day
the veils are lifted

stark clarity recoils every illusion

and shadows become no more.
