In Shadows Of A Herd
A thorn and wilted rose for The Apocalypse
to linger and decay in the shadows of a herd
biting off the throat with words inappropriate
with the quill of a feather stuck in one's craw
on empty pages hemorrhaging worms
a bloodbath of Draconian shattered dreams
of unconscionable lies swinging on the gallows
with fragrant child of festering embryos
to blossom in this desolate place
in death's Masquerade so sweet my cadaverous
rushing toward conversion kissing the locust
to linger and decay in the shadows of a herd
to linger and decay in the shadows of a herd
biting off the throat with words inappropriate
with the quill of a feather stuck in one's craw
on empty pages hemorrhaging worms
a bloodbath of Draconian shattered dreams
of unconscionable lies swinging on the gallows
with fragrant child of festering embryos
to blossom in this desolate place
in death's Masquerade so sweet my cadaverous
rushing toward conversion kissing the locust
to linger and decay in the shadows of a herd

A fine poem literally dripping with black ooze, pooling in the dark recesses my mind, well done old boy!

Dear A,
In keeping with your gothic penchant you’ve nailed it in this write. Additionally, it left me with a sad feeling. A longing almost. The picture selection goes very well in support of the mystery behind it. Well done. H🌷
