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 inspiration was a bit darker than that. The shadows...the mischievous monsters that hide in our hearts and minds. I wanted to tap into that, the fear of death, the fear of seeing hell in the flesh. I wanted the reader to feel uncomfortable. I wanted to venture into a forbidden world of misery.
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!

I loved how you openly attacked "light" because it is truly the bane of the "damned". Peeling flesh may sound terrifying, but that is a kindes compared to the searing pain of complete illumination. I think few will actually get your genius...

Titled it Death's Memento Mori, it was actually about dream I had as a teenager...put a current spin on it of course. Difference being...it was about the consequence of disbelief. This poem, like you said here, is about the consequence of being parted from light for all eternity.
well ...Damned...you do have a dark streak in ya...and here I thought you were kidding...all the more to create these hellish ideas ...poetic nightmare on the loose...nice work M...

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 ;) "
Etiquette has the pigs opens wide,
consuming all that forgot to wear the settlement."
This really gets me with what I've experienced with people lately..
I love the fact that you allow me to walk on the dark side of my own thoughts
as I read you...because to be honest....we don't look there often enough..
To much fairy dust up my a*s ;) lmao Love it xoxoxo

reminds me that the softest part of us is to be found somewhere inside....if i could close my eyes as i read this, i would feel the teeth plunging though

Humanity is not being real unless we show our frailties. What some perceive as gore...is actually the core of what makes us feel. We are soul...skin of many colors...yet we all share pain and breakable bones.
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
