The Noose Jan 2014
The love of my life
Is a simpleton
Lagging behind
The timeline of life
Late in acquiring ownership of tangibles
And other worldly nonsense
Society deems necessary
Making him feel inadequate

A late bloomer
With a heart riddled with regret
And hands that carry the burdens
Of his forefathers

He is a knowledgeable man
Of a quarter of a century old
Humour pours out of him
So much so it should be unlawful

He is a composer of melodies
A metal head of sorts
A homebody with an affinity for alcohol

A lanky physique
That adds to his appeal
Pale brown eyes
That glisten multicoloured hues
In the light of day
Darkening blonde hair
Coffee stained teeth
A sincere smile that warms your heart
And the most exquisite nose I have ever seen

He tucks away his bloodied
Bruised heart
Always guarded
Masking his true nature
So he can be “that”  guy
The noble one

He belongs to no one
Someday, soon.. he will
I dread the arrival of that day
For he will never be mine
To worship
My inspiration has been in the trenches lately, don't mind me I'm just gonna dig it out with a toothpick!
The Noose Jan 2014
Frantic solitary motion
The night still in it’s infancy
Slathered in stale ambitions
The stimulus for discontent

There was nothing
I wanted more than
For my brains to scatter
On that very boulevard

Send me to my maker
I uttered
Under my weary breath

This ******* town
Will never have me.
The Noose Jan 2014
Awakened mind
Body trapped
In reduced consciousness
Laying in a comatose state
Stitched to the mattress
Frozen
Cannot speak
Cannot scream

Repressed hysteria
Suffocating
Under the weight
Of the invisible intruder
The presence
Anchoring me down
Obstructing my breathing

Dark shadows
Dancing
By the chest of ****** drawers
An apparition of a bearded ******
Standing at the edge of the bed
Appears
Dark particles of fabric fill my eyes
I fight the fight
This shall not be my demise
Wake me up
I will die another day.
This horrendous phenomenon
Paranormal? Biological?
A question for the ages.
The Noose Jan 2014
Violin sonatas of gloom
Acoustics of desire
Play all at once
A peculiar compilation
An elegy of sorts
For yours truly
Welcome to life
Soak up the unrealised potential

Inflamed with rage
To this day
You walk this earth
With a strong conviction
You owe yourself something
You cannot deliver
Extreme self-expectations
Coupled with perfectionism
The fatal modus operandi
You continue adhering to
Goodluck with standing in the way
Of your own happiness

Thrive in your concentrated negativity
While seeking solace in one-liners
Of absolute *******
You maybe a joke
But you are hilarious
Oh, wait.. the joke wore thin
A dozen punchlines ago
You died 12 summers ago
It’s whatever

One day bitter and wilted
As you sit in a cold impersonal office
You will dream about the ocean
And mourn wasted youth
Today will be yesterday
Today is ruined
Tomorrow is dead.
Just for clarification I am ******* enthusiast.
The Noose Jan 2014
The visitant frequenting
The dreams of my slumber
In the hours of darkness
Appeared yet again

His face was obscured
By dazzling luminous colours
His aura bled

Deep in the trenches of my viscera
I feel as though
I have been breathless
For a thousand lifetimes
Awaiting his arrival

Hypnotised by the mystique
I felt his soul converge with mine
The phantasma I adore
The skeleton key opening me.
The Noose Jan 2014
I have resented you for many lifetimes


Your smile
Irradiated my darkened room
Filled the vacuum
In abundance
  
Your presence was an impermanent antidote
To this..... state

You were just a mere mortal
With this unfathomable effect on me  

I have resented you for many lifetimes
The way you took permanent residence in my heart
The way you carved your name into my bones
The way you departed... this life
To leave me... like so


Perpetually chasing your ghost

Until I become one.
The Noose Jan 2014
Ferocious and dispersed

The vultures glide

In the stratosphere

Devouring what was god.
