IMBROGLIO

Hearts give rise to silent sighs,

Sounding the silence solidifies,

Distant thunder announces the deny,

Lightning splitting a black velvet sky.

Perception becomes the new disease,

 Some pensile words if you please,

Then at last the void takes shape,

With mindless tone a feral rape.

Enveloped in a pleasing sheen,

The blackened fabric to deceive,

While your spirit they taunt and twist.

Step right up for your  …
