Felt like visiting the dark side of the Crow! Digging deep into the mind and flesh to feel a bit of life surge through my pulsing veins. I tried to incorporate two views or meanings of what once was.
The idea has been haunting me for a week now since this MindLoveMisery’s Menagerie did the prompt.
Blood Crow!
When there is
empyreal radiance
Of the divine
there is the
peril darkness
of the imperious
Taking the lives
from the anonymous
Clawed nails
of whalebone
penetrating
cursed veins
Suffering pains
hold down the
Dreaded souls
Hell’s treasures
Last beat of a heart
I am but a tool
a winged demon
becoming a murder
to survive insanity
The blood crow
clipping wings
from whom desperately
try to flee the aperture
Reaching for the heavens
begging to forgive
Their lifelong sins
killing innocents
in their scorching fires
When there is
empyreal radiance
Of the divine
there is the
peril darkness
of the imperious
Taking the lives
from the anonymous
