Grimdark
Ishmael Aug 2017
Revive this stone fixed mind in my rotting skull,
call thunder to strike my fossil heart,
Bring your fire and venom and steel,
make me feel pain and agony, anything real.

These strings that used to hold me up,
slide around my neck like a lovers arms,
they kiss and nudge my sanity loose,
all the while winding round me like a noose.

hecate, circe, my Nemisis,
your vengeance will come some day,
I wont let you leave me alive in this cell,
come get me or I will ring charons bell

ugly, obscene, *******
the madness monster within

also pure, holy, spiritual
Beauty, the Beast’s better twin

Proclivities primal and private
Against which I never can win

And yearnings loving and lofty
Disappear to begin yet again

It’s true I’m a bipolar roller
My blessing and also my curse

I’ve known madness and my better angels
the good, the mystery, the worst

I struggle now for the Hopepunk
Grimdark in the White House decaying

Bard once more lets fly the black arrow
As this American Dragon needs slaying.

— The End —
