DAMNED

DAMNED

A Poem by Muse

       

The damned.

Light here, is a vexation and not allowed.



It waits....

for the malaise to ripen the accused;

becoming an accessory, within the jaws of suffering.

A judgement made marvelous by



the slow movements of  hell-fire


     and cirque du soleil.

Evil is calm.

All abiding to the spirits of ineffable marveling.

No sound of a beating heart. Only

confusing words spoken from the book,

of a darker art.


Picking, peeling apart, the flesh of forgotten dreams.

A piracy of ruins; filled

with laughing skulls that cannot scream!

 

   

The high court below

sampling every acquired soul.


Humanity

dissolved by the BEAST; leaving

the remnants of hope in a bottomless bowl. It's

quivering lip bites at another jowl. Attending devils,

just hackle and howl.


Etiquette has the pig open wide,

consuming all that forgot to wear the settlement.


Only the purged gets buried without a face.


There's no drop of grace......


no not a trace.

If you don't know Odilon Redon or George De Chirico you should do. Symbolism, Surrealism, all here but tied with something more A desperate but incredibly rich and darkly beautiful use of words that fit the darkest and yet most illuminating place. A startling poem.

My friend - you reach down down down into the psyche and pull out all that is the sludge on the bottom... most would never touch it... and your bring it to the light - where it is harmless. Then you describe it in words and pictures and videos and colors and fonts. Your poetry - they are more like paintings with a true soul within. Best I can describe what reading your work does to me. The words are dark and deeply moving but not at all disturbing - because they are yours. You are made from light, air and some type of finely spun precious metal. Your work - says there is that darkness withing you. But it is really not you at all. An interesting you. :)

Described Hell with such intense vigor *the remnants of hope in a bottomless bowl* reminded me of Warehouse 13 or what might happen if Pandora's box became this way... raw ruin of chaos, a world full of the spawn of an evil so deep and equally menacing, but calm in wait for the faltering souls, the weak of heart... truly frightenimg, magnificient piece with superb rythm ;)

The deeper I went into your write, the more my mind opened, and then it was really unfair of you to have NIN kick in and shock me ;). Truly a scene from hell, a sour, acrid, tormenting portrayal. Black cats fear to go.
