Wicked Silver Bell

Wicked Silver Bell

A Poem by Jeremy Cooney
"

Just finished this one. Came to my while I was shaving, wrote the first half before open mic, the other when I returned. Obviously I need to stop falling in love with practitioners of the dark arts

"
A buzzing in my head begins
As loud as Pharaoh's locusts
Your face and voice descend on me
I cannot seem to focus
And when I cut myself shaving
I just let it bleed
Because I know
The crimson flow's
Enough to make you gleam
When things get red and hard and dark
You radiate with power
Perhaps that's why my heart is art, 
Hung upon your bower
You let it rot to dust
You smile at the smell
For seven nights
And on eighth light
You ring your silver bell
Lost deep within the sacred wood
My bones as stiff as stone
For without a heart to circulate
Order's overthrown
But through the mist I hear a sound
So thin and cold and calm
I follow well
Your silver bell's
Wicked magic song
(Break)
Oh foolish hearts were set ablaze
All those years ago
Now an older fool , I should have guessed
The power that you'd know
You clutch my heart, and with a beat
My corpse begins to sing
You have your fun
I turn to run
Your bell begins to ring
(BREAK)
And when my song is over
I know I'll not be free
You clap your hands and with a jerk
My body betrays me
I pop and crack as I dance
Around your holy flame
How in the fire
Of my desire
I somehow lost the game
No power left to fight it
We fall into the dance
You take my hand and shoulder
I never stood a chance
You lead me and you spin me
An unending waltz of doom
Now dark the sky
By and by
You take me to your room
(BREAK)
You finish with a cackle
The spell has been performed
Naked fair, you mount your horse
And ride into the storm
My heart you left upon a table
With a needle and some thread
It was quickly done
The flesh was numb
Into the dark I tread
Walk out into the forrest
In the lightning and the rain
I can barely walk, for with the blood
Returned my sense of pain
And through the mist I hear a sound
So thin and cold and calm
Called back to hell
Your silver bell's 
Wicked magic song
(BREAK)
And through the mist I hear a sound
So thin and cold and calm
Called back to hell
Your silver bell's
Wicked magic song
