Shroud

Eyes that pierce through veils, hide yourself from me

Darker than night, hotter than ash, it’s true

Draw me not into murky depths, spare me

Toss me high, nearing sky, blacker than blue

Crimson drips, ebony drops, drip, drop, drip

Delete me from the landscape, go and try

Chilly icicles kissed red cherry lips

Give me wings, tear me into pieces, fly

Free cells hover above, this is my home

Fall, be free, die who I was, live deceased

Flee, wander, be like the beasts, free to roam

No, stay, live as none, safe, seared, them appeased

Close the book, the story is over now

Pulled from the stage, rest, take one final bow

A piece i wrote for my creative writing class. A sonnet in iambic pentameter. Basically a Shakespearean styled piece.
