Analysis of Falling Emperor
crawling dark shadows
with thorny edges
and smoldering breath
I can't tell,
what those cells are doing
are they having a bonfire,
fueling it out of my dried ribs?
I can't tell,
if I'm falling apart.
or my parts are fusing
into one rotten mass
Should I be sad?
or shall I surrender?
to whatever wickedness those
invading shadows are plotting,
I
feel
like a
Falling emperor.
can see glory, can taste fury but,
the kingdom has given up on him.
does all ends feel the same,
taste the same?
Then,
Why is this end seems bitter,
and the tunnel hold no light.
Is my guardian angel sleeping?
while I shed the last orphan tear,
What kind of dreams is he having?
while nightmares are nailing horror in my eyelid.
