Self Portrait
Here I am on the hedge,
Amidst the forest of doubt,
One who've sworn not to pledge,
Proudly wear my shroud.
There's night in my head
And smoke in my guts,
Nothing's clear to my mind,
Porcelain is my heart.
With a black tooth grin
Bear mysery crown
With my soul in the wind
And my faith in the ground.
Eyes - by chance fallen leaves
Under the bushes of eyebrows,
Fulvous brown and grass green
Hidden in the shrubs' shadows.
Dead pale skin covers me,
Brown ivy curls down my shoulders.
There's blue blood in my veins
And I greet you, beholder.
Childly mushy cheeks
Rubbed by claws of white,
Full of shudder twists
Hope to thrill your mind.
Preying on your smiles,
Drinking up your breaths.
Forgive me for a while
Lack of wings on my back.
