Ravings of Madness

Monologue

Knives upon dreaded stone

Etchings bring hopeless hunger

Howling hounds tell their tale

Bodies crumble deathly pale

 

Virtue’s memories shredded

The clutching of time burns

Hands do tug and pull apart

Thoughts of a desolate heart

 

Temperament screams away

Madness thunders the night

Cats eat their master’s eyes...ha ha

Mankind wails and dies!

 

Flood the way with dirt!

Bury the blood in bleak water...

Peel the flesh from the living!

Empathy shall not be forgiving.

 

Take it!

This labored sin

Beat it!

Like crushed cans tin

Rip it!

Throw it into a spin

Swallow it down!

Burns like gin

 

Forever more you say?

How quaint.

Rather upon a lonely shore!

Sails quick away.

No more this day.

No more to play.

Go fetch thine other’s grip!

Shall not bother a tip.

 

Yet...

Perhaps..

Offerings of jaded sweet lips

And the sway of soft gentle hips

Might...

Making no promises.

Let thine soul stay another day..

What you say?

Yay?

Or Nay?

 

Nay… and thy life is farce

Not I to be bothered by it.

Go and find else ware tidings

Ridings and the lot

Make thyself empty of room

Go on!

Go!

I shall in jest, close eyes.

 

Yay…and thy love be deep

Never forgotten

Upon many moon.

Take hands and walk way

A rose’s bliss

Subtle kiss

Will be offered eternally.

Prithy.. come forth.

 

Damnable darkling words!

 

Against all grains! Truly...

Sure takings were sour

Meanings lower than hunger

But!

Divinity broke the hay!

Burnings to all

Everything to ash

So what!

Cleansed!

Purified!

Righteousness walked!

 

No!

Never an accords rare breach

Shall anything be sanctity raved

The soiled got what they deserved!

The mighty all a bit flighty.

Pity though...

Their feathers were plush...

Oh bother...

No rush.

 

But if...

Happenstance vexed.

Chances took

Voices amended

Perhaps...

Some wrongs upended....

A mind swayed unto change..

 

Nay... YOU!

 

Take the witch away!

And burn her!

I’m done with this day...
