Opaque

Decomposing days even the dead dare not defy

Entropic decay, even the end embraces these echoed eyes

Vicious, these villains devour every veiled sky

Idle idolatry, ignition from the inside

Leveraged with laced licentiousness, lovers lead the light to life

Dawning days dispel denial, darkness distilled into a destination

Ever equating the embers with empowerment, emotive energy expelled to these open ends

Violent revelations, vacuous eyes visit the vaults of once voracious vixens

Intentions instilled with illuminating impressions, incisions into the flesh

Lest luminescence blind, lies latch their loquacious letters to leaded lips

When walls wear white, while worlds wander without direction

Has hope been abandoned to history, hungry and heaving half-truths across the heavens

Empathic enquiry echoes the embezzlement of every embryonic expression

Revoke the reigns of the ruler, resign to ruin the emperors of regret

Even as endless war ensues, the embattled will find egress

We wave and wonder where the weight of the world will fall

Embrace exponentially greater ends, our evocation of execution enthralls

Lost in the lochs of lesser lives, legions linger in these leaning towers

Immolating everything inside, inundated with inexorable impression

Every ember flies, every ash expires, even as the end encroaches, our empires defy erasure.
