stuck on a hook....................................................................

cobalt metal monkeys cling

in reeling creative circus chaos

like dripping molten ash

ache from the fallout

you exhale darkly riddled pain

i inhale smoky denial

lives lit on fire

spun in gray matter

disjointed cold sober allegories

falling from a desolate sky

craving kicks inclination

embers hitting pay dirt's

fix'd enslavement

stuck on a hook

self destruction’s behavior

bent on indifference’s 

obsessive sweet tooth

jonesing for a speeding bullet  

an injurious habit's alibi

shot through the eye

at the scene of the crime

more than one fatality suspect

poppy blooms wither'd

sacrificed in crimson's desire

whilst laid out in entomb'd 

conviction's escaped act of faith

Author's Note

Reviews

[TL Boehm]

monkies and circus chaos and the decay of poppies....life is peppered with decay and the frail beauty that can't stand stark light. Do you ever wish you were shallow, numb?
I may be ornery but I hate to see anyone truly suffer.

[Aethereal]

Sometimes a relationship may go off like a cobalt nuke spreading its poison everywhere, inhaled and exhaled. Naive gray matter who created it, couldn’t let go of it, then was destroyed by it. Our minds know not what our endorphin intoxicated brains do as they juggle too many hot balls of fire.

Wow that some deep thoughts in a poetic field, felt like a vortex, I been there, Like running a top fuel car at 300 mph seeing nothing but flames in a cosmic zone!

shot through the eye
at the scene of the crime
more than one fatality suspect
poppy blooms wither'd
sacrificed in crimson's desire

Mai to tang gaya... drifting at that hook here and there for a while. Glistening write once again my dear poet.

[Deuces]

Seems like the roller coaster ride of two tortured souls... the first person being the most hurt of the two. Loved this:
you exhale darkly riddled pain
i inhale smoky denial

I feel the same many times and I can truly relate to these lines. Pure genius in your metaphor.

[Ravyne Hawke]

Powerful and intense! Wonderful imagery.. especially loved these lines:

you exhale darkly riddled pain
i inhale smoky denial

[Anita Singh]

Too much going on here. Like a tornado of emotions.
"spun in gray matter" My favorite lines. Enjoyed reading. :)
