Treading the water that feeds the body, lost in thought, wandering along the sand. The requiem playing in the background, at the site of mourning and lament. False gods and idols that we worship, beg us to follow the natural path to death. Wondering if destruction is our destiny, I calmly walk in search of our fate… Deny the body, yet no cure to an angels wrath… I forsake the god, traitor am I, the one who abandons his breath. The bleak end that we deserve for living, bleeding for breathing. I crave nurturing over discipline, oppression, domination setting in. Serenity is rare in a world of war. Tranquility that I plead for never coming to my side. Apprehension that takes control as desperation builds… Fear takes place as nerves are numb to the pain Conflict that raises enjoyment and pleasure… Fetishes of euphoria and ecstasy… Uncontrollable acts of insanity… Passing through my mind in quick flashes of elucidation Tears that rage out of black eyes, flood the façade portraying scorn Pain of human nature laughs and taunts this burning hunger of escape This passion and determination to end the suffering… That roars with the fury and contempt of our dark lord, our black king. Sadly misunderstood as the absence of love, the deceiver… God is the one in the corner bound and gagged… Creating more ways to judge and control our way of life. Beg for mercy, cry out for forgiveness… Drowning out the sorrowful moans, an angels wrath As everything continues to become restless and mystified And everything continues to end at one question… Are you afraid to die? The Elucidation, reworked and retitled. So this is what happens after you write what could be the best thing you've ever written (The Casket in the South)...writers block.
OH MY GOD! this is amazing! you just seem to get better and better! if that's what you call writers block, gimmy some of that! i can't really say anything else cause i am just too damm speechless! fantastic work!
Haha, thank you. Well, the thing is this was already a poem I'd written a while back, and I just took it with some more ideas I had, added some stuff and retitled it. Thank you very much though.
