Ghosted Heart

behind these piercing eyes
lays a landscape
candlelit
as the daylight fades into the nightline sky
dormant demons rise 
bloodstained footprints 
fallen faith pettles
exhausted 
layered across the havens floor
time beats slow
at the gates of a ghosted heart
sleeping
as reflections of the mind 
claw through the dark
waiting, waiting, waiting
for new hope
as a new dawn
thy shadows be torn
