Of indigo is its weave,
Looming shapes, refusing to leave,
Murmuring in an ear,
A cruel twisted leer,
Gate screeching for it to pass,
Always there, slight or in mass,
Smell of rust, of bitter spice,
Shrouded in disgust for a vice,
Lingering bitter, herb and metal,
Taste not refusing to settle,
On all sides, but visible from none,
Creeping vines, growing never done,
Wounds never close,
Guilt arose.

You didn't follow the format, but when a poem is this good, who am I to make you follow prescribed formats? Excellent.
