Hey I just mess around with poetry and I've always wondered if it was any good at all so just let me know if this is even passable! Also i don't even know what the form is so don't worry about that.

Belief born of sight at the junction of faith 
A man forever lost, origin without name 
The greatest of plights, myself and my wraith 
to search and find the inception of flame 

the colored crescent a mirage of the skyline
a cynical gift camouflaged behind sly time 
the treasure was promised indeed, in troves 
Alas, all he has found are the emperor's clothes 
lord falls low, jewel to thorn
Thin veil of grandeur forever torn 
mighty oak calls the humble leaf kin
See the tired traveler who could never be sin 
Crucify his god and deliver him to Eden
