Enigmatic
Empty eyes
A veiled disguise
Within the soul, no depth
A mocking grin
Will breed the sin
Into the mind it crept
Empty hands
In scorching sands
Sifting through the dust
Lest we forsake
The time we take
To break up through the crust
Empty gait
Our moves deflate
And wither on the stone
Enigmatic death
Will seed my breath
Unto the silt it’s sown
I am the dust
That will combust
In the leisure of the flame
My light will chasten
In dark, I hasten
Cruelly, just the same
A veiled disguise
Within the soul, no depth
A mocking grin
Will breed the sin
Into the mind it crept
Empty hands
In scorching sands
Sifting through the dust
Lest we forsake
The time we take
To break up through the crust
Empty gait
Our moves deflate
And wither on the stone
Enigmatic death
Will seed my breath
Unto the silt it’s sown
I am the dust
That will combust
In the leisure of the flame
My light will chasten
In dark, I hasten
Cruelly, just the same

A very disturbing acceptance of fate. The metaphors used make it easy to read and understand, for me, anyway. Questioning truth and purpose of life is a very artistic disposition, and it allows for such visual depiction to make solid points. I like the title, and how it builds up in transition to the last stanza. The dust part is probably my favorite. We come from the elements of the earth, and we return there. Anyway, again, good job overall. You have a very bleak way of describing things, which is emotional inspiration to me, in considering that side of the coin of things. Thanks for sharing.
