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.

You never disappoint. References to Biblical theology and a vivid warning to all. Asks the question who is doing the damning...is it just the "damned" light? (did you mean to say "the pigs opens"?). Only problem I saw.
Be well!

Evil is calm... picking, peeling apart the flesh of forgotten dreams...

Ethereal and frightening. Sounds without sight. A great read.

Well to truly be of the light you have to embrace that dark night of the soul as I say...xo
I go missing for a bit and you go all wilder on me ;) "

why am I hungry after reading this? Think I'll go disembowel some Ramen noodles.
Graphic, heavy, Caligula-esque, Poe on crack..... but nice.

Still got that edge... who is it? pretty HATE machine....a bit too lusciously organic for a machine....

Put some pepper on that. :D
Certainly a perfect poem for the up coming holiday... you could tell that around a camp fire and scare the hell out of everyone.

According to Roarke it just worked up and appetite? lol
Gee, that's swell! Nothin' like a deliciously wicked serving up of the underworld. Love the madly grotesque accompanying image. And the NIN music. Mute shrieks attend the horrific truth of lying souls found out in a just nightmare of reckoning.

Reckoning is served my dear.
Eeeeeeeh, captivating one dear..... almost you whisper to us, with this write. It's hypnotizing, moving, and taking my head almost into the screen, by telling it stap by stap, shrewd and clever. Oh how do I love the NIN music too you picked out! It was for me if I was watching a very good scary movie, and I'm a real critic on those. You have so much talent to write dark poetry! dark queen of art in the cafe, I agree with Lorry, I'm going to hide too!!! ha ha :D xo
