Fade To Black
come inside me
take this soul journey
kaleidoscope misery
casts a myriad of shadows
you're sure to enjoy it
taste the darkness
it's on tap
you'll get drunk
& fall face down
into my pit of pain
masochistic by nature
i chain myself to the wall
where you're invited
to piss on my burning sin
there's a pyre of flesh
scorched
by words of hate
for you to behold
after the turmoil ride
where all
my skeletons hide
you're welcome to relax
on the sea of sorrow
it's beautiful this time of year
sail my tears
around cape depression
& see the sparrows of despair
nicotine valley
has some of the most
hypnotic poppies
but beware
rigs of the past
litter the ground
you don't want to get poked
& don't feed the zombie junkie
i once was
it sleeps most days
but awakens
around the holidays
its veins scream
for just one more fix
then after you've seen the sights
your presence
is cordially summoned
to the ball of afterlife
where everything fades to black
my story never ending
an old soul
who's been here before
will die to live again

This time of year is hard for me as well. Memories take their toll and are relived through the pain of today. You've painted another vivid picture in this.

The holidays are not the time of cheer media would have you believe for a very large number of people. It's a time when many of us struggle, despite what we have or don't have. I'm glad you turned your glow to expose this truth so beautifully. For me, it's a time to reach out to others. We all need a warm embrace from time to time...and never more than during this time of year. Sending you such warm, tight hugs, my beautiful Dark Angel. And so very much love
...ever your Willow

I hate that the holidays have adverse effects as well as joyous feelings for you and many others here as well, and wish you and them more peaceful reflections as you journey forward.
Your metaphors rein and the progression of the poem is right on line.
An enjoyed read for the skill of the poetess' ability to convey the content.
Well worth the time spent here Brenda, Thank You.

Such dark sorrow and pain you express dear friend!
Surely Karma owes souls such as we a better life next time around!!!
Then we can enter each other's spirit to share in each other's happiness...!

Dark sorrow is only there so we know why the light from joy looks like.

WOW! This is an introspective existential masterpiece Brenda. It reminds me that we are the Labyrinth...the self is made of many varied minotaurs, but deep within us we have our Theseus and Ariadne.
Cheers...Harry

Another great poem.
Really enjoyed these lines

around the holidays”
