Carnal Conundrum

Click, click, click…
Teetering corneas seeping fear
To the drip…drip…drip
Aching arrhythmia of the faucet I hear

White tiles decay in powdery crumble

Gasping raspy rasp
Of lethargic rusting lungs
Irrational and irritated rash
Infectiously viral it has sprung

While mute lips daftly mumble

Tick-tock, tick, tick-tock…
This hyperbolic heart palpitates
An unstable payload rigged to a clock
Counting inane fallacies I execrate

Greasy, charred bile depredates the ground
Blood caked ceiling drools down disgorged walls
In flickering florescent abstraction, I scrounge
From lacerated messages on my flesh scrawled

And guttural ramblings in the haunted hallways

Thine eyes weep no more
As the sockets curdle and mold
Echoes of cawing; nevermore, nevermore
Internal hemorrhage shatters frail scaffolds

Now hollowed calcium of bones buckle and splay

Creak…crick…crack…
Dilapidated carpentry of my splintered cranium
Falters under the weight of ceaseless attack
Of nuclear thoughts and emotional uranium

Poisoned by the radiation of vile acid reflux

Throat knots
Blood clots
Feel intestines violently churn

Head quakes
Chest aches
Blistering poignant heart burn

Frayed skin turns to maggots as the leeches suck

Viscous black sludge traces the grout
As the soul wrestles my barbed rib cage
Bleak dawn of realization; there’s no way out
Bound by shackles of sacrificed organs and cartilage

Screaming in my soundproof asylum
My epidemic, my curse
Prey to this carnal conundrum
Entombed in this rotting vessel, my hearse

Author notes

Its been awhile since I had real dark one...enjoy.
