greed
dark linger inside my thoughts
while I climb the walls of my mind
silently escalating need
too intense I step back
lest I shine too brightly with my bleak
cruel fate to be divinely cursed
grateful epiphany I am different
sinister offerings rise like incense
he that was and is revealed himself as darkness
it's no different with me
a dark descendant of the most high
his nature multi faceted
fickle grace is that I fear
I am proud but not too proud
knowing my place in the universe
fire proceeds from my tongue
ashes on the wind my words spread
burning the scoffer
whose coffers are more important
diligent greed have your way
I will relent
that it may be well with me

Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; ... He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.

Should the first two words be “darkness lingers”? Also, “to” should be “too” in the last line of the first verse. I like the retrospective take on the subject of greed.

This is powerful Crimsin.
I see you are exploring the idea of darkness, as it relates to God?
Such an interesting concept to pursue.
I also almost feel like you are exploring the true identity of God?
as well as the nature of God (maybe the same thing).
That is far out, Crimsin, and something I am not shore
a lot of people are capable of doing.
The Alien God.
Such concepts, I think, confound the mind,
which has been exposed to certain energies,
for so long.
Please continue to explore these hemispheres.
It is quite beautiful and powerful.
to really take it there.

We all struggle with certain things, whether it's spiritually or mentally. You wrote a powerful poem here, always with honesty, speaking the truth, dealing with obstacles, hoping we can overcome them.
Beautiful write.
