Woeful Wordweaver

Full dark, no stars

Swirling black consumes 

Time festers my soul's corruption

Somewhere afar beckons

Beyond the great beyond 

Freedom's avatar

Apotheosis into the Lord of Soliloquy

Whimsical wordweaver

Whose craft has been mastered 

through metamorphosis

Of poignant melancholia

 into these bleedings

Masquerading as innocuous poetry

Releasing pent up stress 

Via this pen's haemophilia

Clotting blood blotting out haunting skeletons

Scratching within the closet

 of a most parasitic solitude

My wearied will denying me the promise of the magic

My faith knows must one day move the universe

So my dreams must forage into fancy

And my imagination must wander 

...into wonder and necromancy

For I must secure the dissolution 

of radioactive thoughts

By diffusion across my brain's membranes

Unfurling upon the dead and undead

And upon the living...and my own self

And

Should the nightmarish silence answer again

I shall submit to its lure and be silenced forever

I keep thinking of a poet trapped, another entity within who oozes out with the ink of the pen... This piece elicits wonderful images, Rocans. By the way, you should have the words "Whimsical Wordweaver" put on a t-shirt and wear it wherever you go! :)

[Rocans]

Indeed. My muse possesses me. I wonder how people would react to me if I had such words on my shirt! You stopping by is always refreshing Rita! Thanks for reviewing.

This is absolutely beautiful, Very impressive work, you've got talent. I enjoy the darkness that leaks from inside when you write, it's powerful.

[Rocans]

Thanks a lot! I appreciate your kind review. :)

So well written with some very beautiful but rarely used words. You have a very unique style which is a good thing. I loved the last two lines.

[Rocans]

Thanks Bev. I have been told that a lot. Thanks for dropping by! I appreciate it. :)

I loved the warped darkness, the idea of penning with crimson made of blood. Such haunting imagery flows off the page. Very beautiful work here. Thank you for sharing.
