Banished – phantoms(of insanity)

By: Raven

crept from the shadows

clawed from the abyss

to sit beneath an ancient

tree of cypress


insanity filters in

gathered on this wind


sheltered from torrents of rain.

sanctuary from the stings of pain

there are nightmares in this twilight

and no master to tame


will you leave this time?

you have promised before

covering my crime

making it myth and lore


remember, though you are praying to forget

the silver lining of our days tinged in regret


so I let you in,

vampires must be invited

insanity takes a spin

looking sane to me


grip the die uncast

we can’t repeat the past

you are a phantom banished at long
