My Dear, I Am a Vandal
My dear, I am a vandal
I am an eclipse of your brightest days
I am merely hollow, and in great despair
A turquoise sunset in a sunrise maze
I am an event horizon
Better left to its own devices
We are fragile as a sundered vase
Reaching for stars when clouds suffice
My dear, I am a bane of goodwill
I am marshes in your gardens green
I am ravenous and armed with tongues
A veil over your dreams unseen
I am corruption in the incorruptible
I am a syndicate of deceit
We strive to thrive in a heartless abyss
Weaving yarn and webs of bittersweet
My dear, I am an arrowhead
I am doused in poison with no remedy
I am a covetous despot and a saboteur
Forever an omen of catastrophe
I am the first feet in a field of mischief
A master seamster of discord
We hoard rain in the eternal drought
Just to corrode and rust our swords
(2014)
