Purgatorial Incarceration

Condensed


imprisoned tight
raybeam's stage
veiled light
craven cage
~a prison of the soul~

sunbeamed sight
pagan paige
phantom blight
guilt assuage
~innocence to extol~

feral fright
maddened mage
undead rite
somber sage
~perusing tomes of death~

empassioned height
gorgon's wage
manic might
wartime rage
~spectre's reeking breath~

The trouble you went through to post it as you did, helped with the read.  Crafty, and powerful, along with spooky!  Loved the scheme too.

Much power in these few words. I am still a bit awed and have few words. Simple words with deep meaning. Wonderful Chris.

My goodness..you are one of the few poets that can present a poem in an unusual way! I love this...though it is rather dark...

Chris, your presentation is never anything less than masterful.  So strong and a little shadow tinted, I love it!

Enjoyed the visual as well as the semantic. This had a great pattern and very well chosen words.
