OBSCURE: A Tale... A Portrait...
by Iris Psyche
With a pencil and a pad
I sketch a silhouette
Hoping to reproduce
The majesty One has become
An image in my mind
Haunting...
White...
An emotionless facade
Like a fresh sheet of paper
Unpolluted, uncorrupted...
Black...
A raven is born
Unseen by the world
Unrecognized by all...
Red...
Raven blood in One's veins
Deadly poison creeping
Polluting, corrupting
A transcendental onyx tarnished
Belial, One is called
Child of Lucifer
Eternal, genderless
A vampire to behold
Enshrouded by mystery
Androgyny, ambiguity
Crack...
The sound of a boy hatching...
Childe to One's sire...
Or is it?
One goes out into the world
The unknown vocalist
The portrait takes shape...
Black and white
It's haunting image put to paper
The silhouette becomes clear
As I admired One's profile
Knowing someday
I'll return to paint it
Til then...
