Day breaks with a maligned trepidation
Alarm rings with casual resignation
Kettle boils with monotonous regularity
Doors slam with reverberating deafness
Morning rush chokes of rotting fish
Work as dry and quite as the deserts
Lunch no more than amalgamation of toxins
Work now more disconsolate than walking up Everest naked!!!!!!
Evening rush, dissipates into nothingness
The fridge, that cold store of beer, cheese and left over curry
The sofa gestures to you as a surrogate mother, wife, friend
Command the world at a touch, travel without moving
Without moving, you are, you are all numb
Empty, devoid of love, care, hope
Have we come so far, no longer caring?
So casual to us, so obscure to others?
The black petals tranquil, line the floor whence you once walked
Your scent hangs heavy in the air, whence you once lay
The house, quite as the moment before daybreak
Silence deafening, seated alone the black candles glow around me
Your picture once treasured, now a totem of wickedness
Surmounting hate, pressure building in me, sadness tears me apart
Alone in this Castle of Hate, in thy own Dungeon of Misery
Thy have cursed your name, your image and everything thy once worshipped
Thus thy be the cursed, thy am suffering, thy am alone in the night
Devastation and shocked by thy confession
You tell me that thy was acquired for a joke
Your jester, in the palace court of gambol
Thy played the part of the fool, incognizant in legerdemain
Thy experience nothing, not pain, not fear, not hatred
Revenge will be mine, as cold, hard and final as death
Watched your apartment all night, awaiting the appointed time
Finally that void, disgust, fear will amass to this one climax
I watch you make love one last time; I feel nothing now to far gone
You analyse the slaying, exit form the shadow of your door
Crushed black petals your final blanket as you reap your last breath
Tonite the wind howls in bitterness,
Yet there she is in her finest.
A veritable vision to view.
She was once the brightest
Touting for trade in the red-light
With me here in the darkness
Punters crawling, flashing there lights
Atone with the night, eyes flash in the wilderness!
Men with self-importance!
In the hunt for gratification!
She lost in hurting and substance.
I Enclose direction and illumination for her!
My beloved daughter, peek towards the skies
Release your psyche, glimpse what you can encompass!
Acquire one last ride; let individuals abuse one more time.
Sirens shriek! Body unresponsive! Blood on my hands! Her in my arms!
Pain, degradation, torment, narcotics, drink! All memories.
She shall not recognize such emotions again.
Pleasure, aspiration, exhilaration, worship, and blood!
She shall reverence these emotions evermore.
Again the wind howls in bitterness,
She is in her finest her radiance almost blinding.
A veritable vision to view
Now the huntress, pleasure is hers to bequeath.
Touting for trade in the red-light
I spy on the action from the shadows
Punters crawling, flashing there lights
Atone with the night, eyes grin in dimness!
Men with self-importance!
In the hunt for gratification!
Bow to her splendour and supremacy.
Tonite the fulfilment shall be for her!
Looking around the bar
Misfits of every description
Line the pastel coloured walls
With the elixirs of ethanol
Numbing the senses
Numbing the reality
They cannot face
Girl behind bar
Dreaming of stardom
Man at the end of the bar
On the edge of reality
Whishing he where somewhere else
Yet the air bustles with inane chatter
False smiles, polite laughs
The lies, stories, falsehoods
Yet in purgatory we drink
Not for health, wealth or future
We drink to relax, to escape
This straightjacket of work and life
Servitude to an elusive destination
Angel of magnificence, reverence,
Bottle of Jack to the right,
Marlboro lit to the left,
The fall from grace, is absolute.
My angel, mortal bars are no answer,
Semi-clad and bare breasted,
You tease the children,
Turning then into dribbling clowns.
Women want to look like you, be you,
Men what to be in you, testifying to their virility,
Angel of reverence, this is not for you,
This is not for us, for I fell long ago.
My chronicles long obliterated from the athenaeum,
Accompany me to my lair, clothing for you there,
You stay as long as you like, mortals go unseen,
Stay, bottle of jack & Cubans are on the table.
Recounting tales of folklore,
Enthralling you with wonders of mortals,
Adventures for the scribes,
Loneliness in abundance awaits you here.
Visit anytime you like, although you won’t,
I know the script, I know the forlornness,
Call to the welkin, and you may find peace,
This is our prison, our punishment, no parole.
This is my theater of fate
Standing alone, my nightmares watch
As still as an obelisk
My risk of service
My risk of silence
@ the end, no friend, nor family or hope
No dawn for me
Life now constant darkness
Surviving on adrenalin
On dreams, fears and the never ending path
One day my life, will be my own
Your tears flow ruby red
Against my heartlessness
You see only what you needed
You never saw me
Broken, desolate, torn in two
One being, two lives
Protector, resolute pillar unmoving
Lover and counselor
Emerald green, your jealously was
When I turned from us
It’s was either You or You
I choose ME.
Shattered remnants of a soul
Homeless, clueless and alone
Sitting on a corner
Just like Little Jack Horner.
