Darkly Quill

(Darkly quill)
Nothing comforts darkness more than darkness

Curves,... lines and veins, sepia dreams (dreary-starred)
Inkwell,... flesh and canvas, Gothic avant-garde
A portrait composed, blackness upon the quill

Isn't it too real? (too much reality)
How the profound, chambered confusion can kill
(Deeply) ... not meant to be split second-sated
Beyond an instant, weighted, fated long feel

(Darkly quill)
Nothing comforts darkness more than darkness

Vellum scrolls lay, morose eloquence unfurls
Creeping, note beats blot paper with sable pearls
Melancholia, blackness upon the quill

Isn't it too real? (too much reality)
How the profound, chambered confusion can kill
(Deeply) ... not meant to be split second-sated
Beyond an instant, weighted, fated long feel

(Darkly quill)
Nothing comforts darkness more than darkness
