Black Heim

 

 Black Heim

I stumble to my feet

That one was rather rough

The sand full of slate and flint

Sharp and jagged

And a storm cloud swirls

The thunder never stops

Over and again

Again and again

And yet I’m never tired of it

 

My skin feels like paraffin

My life among the mannequins

Never shutters to begin

“Are we alive?”

My voice sounds so abstract

“Well you’re not yet dead”

Says a doll from my side

“Then, why the riggermortis?”

The cold and the numbness

Apprehension and nervousness

Why not just do it

And be done

Can’t move when you’re forlorn

And the world never stands still

For that needy boy or girl

So here we are at Black Heim’s beach

Singing to dead trees rustling

Grey leaves in the winds

Howling for their comfort

Whipping the storm to be uneasy

Is why it never rains easily

And atop the peak

Is where euphoria once was

But it dried up in the drought

When all sanity was in doubt

And no one wanted us nearby.

This was beautiful and dark. I love it. The picture is lovely and beautiful. I love the old longing trees reaching for the heavens. The moss and green is lovely and the picture really brings it out.
