Madness
My mind spins
as the voices begin again
the ones that quietly whisper
in my ear with their putrid breath
I try and hide from the visions I see
and the words uttered with demonic tone
the world is skewed for me
i'm sinking into the depths
Whiskey no longer a shelter
from the cloying hands of demons
I see them with my double vision
peering into to the spiritual realm
Where fallen angels walk among us
possessed souls send out black tendrils
piercing the living
drinking from their being
I'm on the edge
wanting to topple completely into madness
where the balm of fantasy
takes me from the reality that I may be crazy
as the voices begin again

in my ear with their putrid breath
I try and hide from the visions I see
and the words uttered with demonic tone
the world is skewed for me
i'm sinking into the depths
Whiskey no longer a shelter
from the cloying hands of demons
I see them with my double vision
peering into to the spiritual realm
Where fallen angels walk among us
possessed souls send out black tendrils
piercing the living
drinking from their being
I'm on the edge
wanting to topple completely into madness
where the balm of fantasy
takes me from the reality that I may be crazy

It's so easy to succumb to the balm of fantasy, it was my band aid so to speak, saved me from myself.
Very profound write, well penned and expressed Crim.

When the demons descend
They send voices
They send visions
The exorcist is now called
To save the person
From their fall
Only now the exorcist
Is called a psychiatrist
But the ceremony
Has not changed
Instead of cloves of garlic
Here - take this pill
Instead of incantations
Here - group therapy
Both are primitive
And faith based
I pray you healing
From this mess.....
Beautiful poem
Brave expression
Peace

I understand this poem all too well, personally. I've been on the edge like that, sometimes for months, and a big part of me wanted to topple into the madness. Madness isn't something that happens over night, it takes time, and despite the dark romance some of us have with it, it never lives up to our fantasies (at least not for me)
A raw and moving piece.
Peace and love, Indie

Crim,
On the edge is such a tricky place to stand, but the balm of fantasy is often a nice place to fall. Enjoyed.

Brace yourself for more manifests,
For darkness has bestowed relentless pests,
A segment of poem I've written a while ago, unfortunately this isn't something we can just shake, but rather learn to live with it.
Good luck, I love your style its very pure and sincere.
