Aug 22, 2018-
The red skies rage like fire
with such sudden, solemn ireI sit still, intently gazing,
from a dolorous mire
My lonely peach
with me and only me for company
My mind, an evil quagmire
Has fallen off the edge desire
I want you,
River they rise and stretch
I glimpse your reflection
before vomiting into the banks
Convulsing, I am sprawled
On rickety wooden planks
Lonesome, unwholesome
Loathsome and vile
In dire circumstances
Raging, uncouth and wild
The snake uncoils into eternity
The vapour turns to dew
And drapes the damp furnace anew
Only the sky rages like fire here
I sit helpless and unable
I am a coward aghast, a foolish, feeble rebel
So selfish, vacuous and craven I am
Would sell my soul but found no takers
When I meet the devil I shall meet my maker
The dew it drips it drops
My empty chest still throbs
Falling tears, I sob
The coldness streams and stops
Comes and goes in waves
Like you came and went but couldn’t save
A happy ending for a sad tale
Alas my cries of woes and despair
Were made in vain
Vain were my follies and vanity
my shame
I sing, caressing a jagged edge
I cry so loud as if I could rouse the dead
Feelings in your chest
I should soon be gone or so it seems
As I undrown from this delirious dream
Into stillness and silence, I emerge
But roused to cry out by a sudden surge
Of pain so shrill till only a vision gleams
Before falling into the darkness, still, never to be seen
