Night and death

singing lascivious it worked unhindered

bloody hands a night artist

and only the stench

from that stained doorway

in the floor

killing the music

fostering a malignant

almost catholic

panic

so past a point of no return that 

in waves

 the most sacrilegous arousal
came where, now subdued,

once lay all guilt, a lie..

and legion and alone

it was in rapture
fallen in the night

face of the scourge
that coveted the weak
the sycophant

oblivious
of the delerious deep

 so ill prepared
for a sitting
from this walking sin
 all counterintuitive silence

and frantic processing

in the face of  it -

drooling dramatic irony

as the only

possible

moment passed-

and by the time

they knew..

 

theyd missed

their chance

to run

    Good to read your words again poet. Sometimes the sarcasim is in the reality of a thing. Loved the sense of looking within and out the windows of your soul. Loved the title as well. Your language is astute and the metaphors descretely vivid. Glad I dropped by. The best to you in the contest.


    Much Love & Respect ♥

    We're all very fickle, especially so when we get past the average most base sense of humor. Almost to the point to being a joke. The sadness lies only in those that can't half laugh at themselves. They walk around taking themselves seriously for the benefit of others, and don't realize sometimes when the joke is appreciated...and it's time to move on.
    A little work is required to be entertained completely...and that work gets harder but the rewards are more fulfilling.
    I wish we could all laugh bigger.
