The Noose Jan 2018
Day and night's
Fleeting Collision
Above
the field of dreams
Prairie grass swaying
To the sound of the wind's
Gentle aria
Caressing skin
The sweet scent of the evergreen
Carried in the breeze
Hauntingly
Lingered like a shadow
Stilling
The hue of dusk
Saffron's fade
Igniting bones
Spirit's reprieve
At the edge of August
The Noose Dec 2017
His advances are doused
In ludicrous intensity
And devastating emotion
A sufferer tethered
To puppet strings
Clutching on to the hem of my dress
Consuming each word I say

And I,
Do not care for him.
The Noose Dec 2017
"Time it was,
And what a time
it was
It was
A time of innocence
A time of confidences

Can you imagine us
Years from today
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How terribly strange
To be seventy"
The Noose Dec 2017
It sat in the viscera that winter
It all did
The unfed energy of madness
The unbridled
Recklessness
Foaming at the mouth
Virulent
Bordered and contained
The ****** footprints
Of choice
Deranged rationalisations
Virulent
Bordered, not contained
Seeping through the fissures of sanity
Tipping at the very edge of reason
Where once blousy hydrangea bloomed
Cradling the night
The gothic hands of time
Stood frozen.
The Noose Dec 2017
Daniel,
Wish I was lucid
So I could see clearly now
Dawn has come

The unfed energy
Of palpable madness
Virulent desires
A shallow grave
Where convictions blaze

This last ricochet
burning words for light

Daniel
Wish I was lucid
So I could see clearly now
Dawn has come
The Noose Dec 2017
You wear the night so well
If the heavens ever did speak
They reiterated endlessly
Of the topography
Of your Irisis
Evoking a gentle bloom
In my chest
The Noose Dec 2017
Sea of lava
Skin peeling from bone
Sempiternal purgatory
In diablo's abode
The realm of darkness
And disgust

Gazing at the abyss
The bellowing of a thousand
Doomed souls
Trembling bone

Soul left stained
By pervasion of impurity
Expunge these earthly sins
From conscious
Rinse these veins
Beautiful lethe
Lethe - A river in Hades
whose waters cause oblivion.
