Demented Colonies

It's about my inborn indignation about the sanguine aspects of my life.

Demented colonies end up swallowed by oceans of mist 

choking the breaths out, 

but we sit here clasping our hands 

as if the people flanking the aisle 

will tear us apart. 

Though we walk like groom and bride 

we are more stranger to the other than the Sun is to the Saturn. 

I am blowing out the candles now. 

Get a sleep and when comes the morning. 

You'll wake to see me not there 

but swallowed within that mist 

or wandering down the blind alleyways 

of those demented colonies. 

We were made of bronze and silver, rememeber? 

You mocked my beauty 

I mocked yours. 

I'd jaywalk your city streets I said 

I'd break those signals that lead 

our difference and the roads that run around the colonies. 

Demented colonies 

Sinuous, labyrinthine 

How many times you proposed to me? 

How many times you said you'd take me there? 

Now I'm about to be swallowed! 

I'm about to be free from your tears! 

Your heart can't bind mine! 

I'm free like a murderer who escaped justice! 

And when I reach there, my Byzantium 

I'll mock you again 

I'll mock your dainty moccasins 

I'll worship my devilish sins 

In my demented colonies.

A poem that open the doors to many questions. I like the strong emotion and powerful statements in the poem. I like the ending a lot.
And when I reach there, my Byzantium
'I'll mock you again
I'll mock your dainty moccasins
I'll worship my devilish sins
In my demented colonies. "
Thank you for the excellent poem.
