despair is a lady
my poetry is hidden
in a room full of long shadows
cast at five
it resides in the dust motes
that rain down within
the only ray of sun that shines
inside a seedy motel room
a place of despair
I call it home
it reeks of failure
never ending porn plays
on the television
this is the last stop
for all the souls that wander
lascivious sex with a stranger
while I write my exit
out in my head
I lose myself
for a moment
in the broken down lothario
I picked up at the bar
a desperate attempt at dodging
loneliness my constant caller
there are no happy endings
here at the dead end motel
just cum & sweat
as tears of regret
fail to fall
& emptiness leaves
its final calling card

I know that motel room and the people who live there. There is not one shred of pride that you can find from any of its inhabitants. This room is the end of the line for most of them, there are few who manage to leave it.

outrageous, Crim;
endless porn, I was in a motel room like that
in Vegas, with a hooker, she got engrossed in the movie
& didn't want to leave...

As stark as this is, the hunger in me wants to be there, for the porn n cum woman, n even to leave a light within her upon departing :)

How is it you make something as stark and despairing and create beautiful lines that speak the truth for us to read? There is such pain and introspective thought in this piece. I've always wondered about dead ends...they're not really the end of things. The world goes on beyond them, unexplored and fresh. Something to think on perhaps? So much love, my beautiful Dark Angel

Enthralling and evocative lines dear Lady.
there are no happy endings
here at the dead end motel
just cum & sweat
as tears of regret
fail to fall
These must have been among your darkest days but you've survived. I kind of agree with Ash: A dead end can be a turning point.

evocative, reflective: as always, the structure and repeatability of truth
i could liken it to being held down by the neck and these words being whispered in your ear
sometimes quiet speaks loudest
