Candy Apple Red Sky

Candy Apple Red Sky

A Poem by MarlonDean
"

"

Hearin‘ the crescendo//

Pull up at her window//

Drives her mother f****n‘ insane…


Lookin‘ through her dark shades//

A scanner scans so darkly//

Naked and profane…


Words sound so enticing//

Hot and bright like lightning//

Remember when we were seventeen…


If you think you can’t stay//

Ride along move past me//

I’ll remember not to remember your name…


Little baby’s pale rose//

Make-ups on the table//

Lipstick smeared a day old//

She took that body ‘round town… 

Travelling under blue sky//

Wake up with a new guy//

Looks like nothing’s gonna change…


New world is spinning faster//

Daddy was a b*****d//

Nothing to lose, nothing to gain…


Found herself a romancer//

Just swallowed some enhancer//

Let him f**k out your brains…


Smokey evening red sky//

In the fields where we lie//

Whispering our names…


Lift your little sundress//

Are you having fun yet?

Not a worldly sound now…


Tears are made of acid//

Burn right through the plastic//

Got that p***y on surround sound… 

Playin’ on a Sunday//

Zombie-walk the runway//

Tricks for kicks…

So underrated…


Pastor say your prayer now//

Give the child a scare now//

You know the devil may cry.


Pop the f****n’ moon roof//

Pretty smile so aloof//

I asked her if she takes drugs.

It done made her smile now.


We get our goddamn hate on//

Make love on a payphone//

She just wants to fight so we can f**k and make up.


Can’t live like this forever//

As long as we’re together//

The veins that we could tether//

Leave you in the darkness, leave you just one letter…

From a protagonist that knows you far too well.

She finds me in a dark room//

P***y, dicks, and blue fumes//

Burn marks burn flesh but will scar soon//

Won’t stop ‘cause we can’t stop.


Black blotches made of cancer//

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer…

Cheetahs, Leopards, Panthers…

She’ll c**k back that hammer//

A bullet for the sheriff.

A bullet for the messenger before he can say a word.


Her mother’s hearin’ the crescendo//

Her girl vomits out my window//

Pull up to her front steps//

Help her with her sundress//

Drives her mother f****n’ insane.

Life just one short story//

Live just for the glory//

Can’t love you forever//

I’ll settle for today.
