Pyreborn Poem by Heini Djurhuus

Pyreborn

Rating: 5.0


A somber stream, jet black as the Styx
Incandescent obscurity, crepuscule shade
Mournful magma, forge my crucifix
Dawn of delirium, abhorrence and hate

Hoary embers, blasting the skin
Searing stygian sinew, scorched by blistering blade
Refine my rage, sunder my suffering
Conflagrant eyes smolder and illuminate

Hands dashed against the anvil
Incinerate my sweltering nails
Gargled voice, wretched and shrill
Hark! A harrowing wail

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
One of my more 'straightforward' poems. It is about the struggle and anguish that comes with addiction and substance abuse.
