BREAK THE CYCLE

Someone? Anyone?

nimhneach ~

               prostrate
               before your cathedra
               of scorched flesh
               & achromatic bone

                        {wholly
                         an unholy whore}

        i offer asphodel kisses
        with a forked tongue
        where your never-borns    
        perished
        in salt & spit ~

                ... & i wear
                    nothing
               but the shades of
               your deception ...

                         rose leaf skinned,
                         a leptosome toy
                        forgotten in the boughs
                        of a pomegranate tree
                                      ***  
          {do you blame me
            for eating your heart?}

                 & laughing through
                 a mouthful of blood
                 ~ thick as molasses ~

                             such sweet, helpless sounds
                             godforsaken mewls
                             when i gorge to excess
                             on a promised organ

       {you sound
         just like i do}

                    just like
                    a wounded animal
                               //

"Time is the enemy
I can't take this pain, there's blood in the drain
And now the urge is growing stronger and I'm going insane
There's a monster in my head it couldn't be any clearer
For I am truly terrified by the man in the mirror"

Bump and... mosh

-despoiled

I sneak away sometimes, never too far    
from yesterday, where the smell of dead    
flowers still frolics by rivers edge; I cannot
understand why I crave what's dead and dying
what makes it all seem so alive inside me...

having left once before, the fragrant            
freedom I found while withering away            
piss-drunk, tattooed and shamed, was for            
others to remember, as I have no stake            
in this game of the living; the only        
freshness I seek are the wounds I wear        
like watches, telling me it's time again        
though, I prefer the term:

-despoiled...  


I was asked to join the lady in this fine competition, so she wouldn't feel so alone. Being the gentleman I am with a soft spot for said damsel, I was happy to oblige and ended up liking my poem to boot...

I didn't choose a song, I only wrote from your description. I understand if it doesn't qualify...

Thanks for the inspiration you two.  ;)

Now, Slayer awaits...

!RESURRECT!
(inspired by "Reincarnate" - MiW)


Further into the cradle earth,
but getting closer to my birth.

Writhing in agony in place,
going from hell's death gate and back.

Genuflecting before the grace;
my final immaculate fall!

Hear my screams, don't deny me now.
I've no right, at the mercy of.

Fucking the ghost that is myself,
Crucifying all that is left.

Pulling me from the endless womb,
Recalling me back from my tomb!

Born from your Dark to never end,
Unworthy damned to die again!
