Centerunfulfilled Shadowscenter Poem by Clinton Elmore

A shroud of armor
Overcame by rust
A sliver to the bone
A sword's thrust

A shade of bleakness
Beneath my feet
Empty shadows
Darkness of greet

Discerning fire
Internal hell
Blood to black
Grieving farewell

A flashing Past
Chills to the bone
Frozen tears
A heart of stone.

Eternal darkness
An unforgiving thorn
Eyes of lies
Flesh of the torn

Empty transparency
Without a soul
Nonexistent sanity
Lacking control

No life to be
A shadow of a lie
A past of deception
A emotionless cry

A Shade of deception
Brought by trust
Ever changing motions
Grayness to dust

Fading beneath a moonless night
Life motionless beneath the snow
A glimpse of reality eternally at peace
Overcame by the shadow's crow
