Headcase 9
Life was fucked black and charred
dangled remains ripped from the carcass
there was no herald, only despair
plague of darkness slowly settles in
peeling skin raked by bubbled flesh
melted viscous streams to floor--screaming
nightmares die hard, awaiting swung blade
a doorway to cob-web and staircase
the bone holding cup runneth over
we are the receivers cast down in shadow shunned by light
as dark shards pierce the beating heart
squeeze box melodies whine with last gasps
awaiting our train to hell and flame as unholy bells ring.
cower to the corners without chance of escape,
life choices, the murder, the wait
lying body-bag hung on a nail, just there behind blood stain number nine
whimpering innocence while your chest bears the mark
guilt of the living man holds no key but repent
hunger driving the body to run, rejects such escape
screams claw into the back, forward to the frontal lobe
ghost of man haunts, forever confused
dangled remains ripped from the carcass
there was no herald, only despair
plague of darkness slowly settles in
peeling skin raked by bubbled flesh
melted viscous streams to floor--screaming
nightmares die hard, awaiting swung blade
a doorway to cob-web and staircase
the bone holding cup runneth over
we are the receivers cast down in shadow shunned by light
as dark shards pierce the beating heart
squeeze box melodies whine with last gasps
awaiting our train to hell and flame as unholy bells ring.
cower to the corners without chance of escape,
life choices, the murder, the wait
lying body-bag hung on a nail, just there behind blood stain number nine
whimpering innocence while your chest bears the mark
guilt of the living man holds no key but repent
hunger driving the body to run, rejects such escape
screams claw into the back, forward to the frontal lobe
ghost of man haunts, forever confused

Going to treat things like Halloween for a while.

Right from the opening, you establish the feel of the write, with powerful, quick fire imagery. Fucked, black and charred. Your language throughout continuously reinforces this dystopian, violent current. The third stanza is my favorite. Thoroughly macabre. It's cool to see you delving into shadow work. In my spiritual study it is said that awareness proceeds change. We have to face and befriend our darkness in order to turn it into light. Namaste.

Truly I believe that, growing up with ghost stories comic books the classics etc etc
The bleak and dismal has forever had its draw.
I do believe it necessary to play with it, inspect it understand it.
I can't be around or think of negatives when I am upset or in a negative space.
In the other sense I can't do overly happy/giddy if I am in that state.
So what that means Daniel is that...when You see something remotely dark from me...I must be in a really good mood lol
I appreciate Your time/thoughts Good Sir!!!

utterly dark take SoulPoet... the ever so shady cold nighmarish deaths of inescapable the haunting the confusion ..in thw each walk n talk of this cob-webbed knottedness ...only feels a needy vent & a positive tending towards the the life warmth & sunlight of liberative love in all spiritual chaos & search encosling clarities.... reminds me of a once waking from nightmare to real nightmarish 'something' in spotted vision & juz gotten frozen & muted to the core when the exact opposite of immediate response was required..aw dunn bother..juzme Soul...this is a pitchblack whirlpooly swallowing ghostly drawing ~drowning scribe ... write on:)

Love to You and Yours

I enjoyed this poem. Every line pulled me in but this one plays out in my head
”guilt of the living man holds no key but repent “
I can definitely say I will be back by your page to read more. you have so many! But there’s enough time in a Day to read them.
