Morphine

 

Lips laced with sweet morphine,

a candy coated gutter tramp.

 

Dead eyes blankly stare,

into lands of twisted delight. 

 

Pulled further down to deception,

sinking in your beautiful lies.

 

Skin pale as fresh snow,

bleached in darkened tunnels. 

 

Clammy fingers around ankles,

memories of blinding pain.

 

Tears snake down soul's walls,

drowned inside and out. 

 

Tendrils of twisted hair,

my hangman's noose.

 

Dreams of yesterday forgotten.

    I swear everyone is suddenly reading my mind now that I'm back into the poetry business. You've written what I'm still attempting from years ago. Now I can go back to my original piece that's somewhere in my mess.

    The descriptions and emotions in this poem are incredible. Rather gruesome in it's own way, and I like it. Dark is something I'll always love, and this fits perfectly with my desires.

    Sweetest of dreams! ~D
