Just an experiment in ending each line with a long "A" sound. Not necessarily rhyming. |
I walked away not unscathed Down this road by bone paved A highway to death and shame Hell is but a pit stop on the way Magma berms might conflagrate And narrow the path of burning fate Blistered feet and blood incinerate I do not walk this way unfazed For on my back your mark was blazed Reciprocation for the Cain I raised Carved your initials with a rusty blade Infected me and left your stain A curse which births perpetual pain Flaying my skin, soul not sustained I do not venture beyond your gaze Like Sauron, some dark tower mage Your wrath comes down, fueled by rage What contemptuous playwright inked your page Your soothing hymn was only to delay A venomous strike, masked in the sway Of a faux healer's dance and play For now my ignorance was your catalyst of blame And I walk not in the light of day But in the shadows of death and decay While you sit on high to say My sentence has lead you astray |
