Macabre mirage steals forth-
To find a wounded prince,
Begging for the last chalice-
The one? Of innocence...

Incubus on barren plains-
I seethe to see you there
Upon my alter, still as stone...
For further wear and tear.

Creeping low in shadow's blaze-
I falter for the sign,
Of senses stealing in the night-
(If I were so inclined)

Mad-eye drift, I plunge in fast
to meet cold lids in gaze,
Bowing head, I mock you now-
False in all my praise...

Shreds of sin fly skyward down-
as I, soft bed of blend,
Forward march to corner pain
In syndication of my kin...

Kneeling slow to feed the glow
A temptation-wary cringe...
I relish now, the forte of you
My crumpled shell of prince.

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Its kinda hard to stay on a path lined with rocks and holes and your blood, but the path is always there.  That is the difficulty about it.  Its easy to give up.  Just fly away and pretend nothing ever happened.  The poem is beautifully constructed, but in its entirety seems like an empty box.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

You know this reminds me of this amazing book I just read, "Book of Shadows".  My God, you have summed the entire novel up right here, you must read this devina . . .

I have missed your writing.

this is a really weird comment i know but,
i reallly liked your use of puncuation in this poem, i think thats what made, writing it like it was intended to be read...

Awake through motion with curiosity to curtain your first move
Over arms length they'll break protocol
Jealous envy for the youngest one
