A Different Kind Of Monster........(Bowie inspired)

Inspired by David Bowie

It's an Affliction

A dangerously terminal attraction

How the Angel's cries

are watched by spies

but only heard by the Devil himself.

Dangerous, Unique, Beautiful

The Angel cries just for him

She suffers for him to hear

She is good and she is pure

But she is sick and needs a cure

He breathes quercetine,

is ruthless and mean,

His gender it would seem, a mystery.

...Influence-Love-and Turmoil

He/She is nothing but desire

Of his/hers soul she cannot tire

Revolting in his mannerisms

Unsightly in appearance

yet dripping with sexual appeal

and all must have him.

The Angel is no better,

The world is white and black 

with sheep crammed together in a stack.

He dismisses their devotion

is malevolent and confident.

He changes form but is consistent.

Cringe to look at him,

but unable to stop.

He draws you in and beats you down

until he takes the win and you're on the ground

Like fine wine he gets better,

older and older the legend grows.

Stealing more hearts and sanity.

A disgusting man with turbulent ways

yet somehow there is nothing the Angel desires more.

Revolting in his mannerisms,

Disgusting in appearance...

yet I find it so horribley attractive.

Such a sick need to have it.

An Affliction of Attraction... My My...

It would seem that I am the beast and he is the beauty...

that sick, anorexic, drug beaten beauty.

To the review now,
Very good poem!
I didn't even realize how long it was because it was such a great piece to read!
"Drug beaten beauty", that's really strong, right there.
Keep it up!
