A burdened cloak

Frail;  
A dance in a burdened cloak  
Diminished captions to evoke  
Hasp the feeble with discontent  
and mire the lame in course lament  
Wrinkle the path that gains desire  
Stifle the push that lights a fire    
Thieve him of forgotten riches  
Fill the pail with empty wishes  
Dim the glow of heavens gate  
Menace  
Threaten  
Obfuscate    
Break the lamp that casts the light  
Burden him with lasting night  
Riddle him with reams of sin  
Whittle him with thinning skin  
Feed the beast    
Affix the halter    
Question not what reeks of falter
