|
Awoke from typhlotic silence |
|
Awoke from mind inearth |
|
Conscious enveloping, sick feat over |
|
To the shock of the white-coated |
|
I returned undefeated |
|
From whence others fear to tread |
|
Time to fling another barrage at desideratum |
|
Last rites retracted |
|
So I'm trying to remember where I was |
|
When I lost sight of the flickering sun |
|
Perhaps to recall the beginning of |
|
The downfall of it all |
|
The rainbow drain-bowed |
|
Ember's colour became as grey |
|
On the day when perspectives lengthened |
|
When what had seemed before to be so far away |
|
Became to me so shockingly, starkly, clear |
|
Face down in ash, choking in frenzy |
|
Soon to become a meal for the many |
|
As smiling eyes to glittering ice |
|
Worm voices rising through all this putrefaction |
|
Awaiting loss in less than resignation |
|
To finish the start a tempting frustration |
|
Fully expecting subterfuge, in a place of no refuge |
|
No last chances for this sleighted hand |
|
Away, away, lying through the last stand |
|
Dead heat, soul on ice, all wishes wasted |
|
Dreaming pure horror |
|
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie |
|
Painting out cracked windows of the soul |
|
In misty midnight black |
|
Serrated blades of silver hatred |
|
Ragged cuts pissing blood |
|
Torn through gossamer thin desire |
|
All hope and fear feeding funeral pyres |
|
Whatever passed for colour |
|
Has now passed on |
|
Spider amongst the bar flies |
|
Sinking sorrows as oceans rise |
|
And fallen angels fall further! |
