A Delinquent Debutant

The dreams I had
Turned into nightmares
Blanketed with haunting numbness
Ethereal mists invoking
Confusion.

But a joke on me

Cosmic puzzle
Where I’ve lost a few pieces
A laugh that condescends stalking peace
Joy in disillusionment
A broken key.

But a fallen Valkyrie

Tension in temptation
Voices that linger
A poisonous vinegar
That laces my gall
With convoluted diversions.

But a constant delusion

Hateful jealousy
That you’ve found a new reflection
A haughty revelation
That leaves my lust
In the deadened air
Smelling of smoke and ashes.

But a deviant devotion

The light flees
From the pupil in my eye
A fancy foundation
Crumbled from the inside
Spontaneous internal combustion.

But a depressions darkness

Fragrant emotions
That cloy the senses
That pleasure violated
With a glimpse of universal dissection.

But a deplorable dissension

Bitterness erodes the psyche
Like a patient in perdition
Hell’s many layers
Proceeds the princess
In flames destined to burn sanity.

But a delicate melancholy

Depths of the pit
That are damning the soul
Sinful relegations
Of chasing the dragon
A realization there’s a chip on my shoulder.
