The Last Waltz

Dance with the macabre.......

 

 

The Last Waltz

 

Seduced I am by the face of vanity and disfigurement, my

jaw shattered from the {BONDAGE}

of our osculation, my

mouth leeched by sharpened tongue exhausted in salutation.

You play my ribs as if I were the

=strings= on your cello,

but these bones crumble as you strum

higher and higher, my

voice and screams you use to orchestrate Death's choir. 

 

Our diaphragms making love in perverse disagreement, I

ask thee to have mercy on my soul that begs to breathe.

I know your cadaverous mind can see

and hear me, but

instead, you stifle my vitality, ignoring each and every plea.  

 

What provokes you to graze in my dismantled flesh?

Is it the promenade between my stomach and breast, or

do you crave the vigor that hides within 

my open chest?

I waltz with you in servitude and as a willing sacrifice, you

take the lead with every step, twitch,

and pulsating beat.

Catching me as I sway, arching my back, and vertebrae,

bleeding jewel-like rubies, adorning my fears from yesterday.

 

Sweeping me around the tempest void that shadows song.

You devour what is left; I feel no pain......

I feel no wrong.

Hauntingly seductive, the words play well upon my ear as I read it aloud. Feels like love torn apart and the empty shells, skeletons remain playing to each other still with the devouring love and that power that holds upon the woman. It seems as though the male figure has a sort of power over the female counterpart within this piece and how weak and vulnerable she is to the seductive techniques used by the male figure.

Our diaphragms making love in perverse disagreement, I

These lines cause me to imagine an argument between two lovers who constantly seem to quarrel and no matter how much the female in this piece begs for reprieve, none is given ultimately ending with-

You devour what is left; I feel no pain......
I feel no wrong.

in essence succumbing to the fact that he had won, yet inside is strongly convinced of her rightness but no longer willing to argue about it. At least this is how I interpreted the poem. Ultimately its an amazing piece of work, quite amazing in its structure. I have a fascination with dark poetry such as this. Definitely going into my favorites. I had to reread it about five times and enjoyed it more and more with each read :)

Could of been inspiration but I read another first, I now have to see if another Devil can spawn spew his seed in my range of imagination to post another picture to post on the dark chard scratches of another lighting struck Oak stiff with decomposition.Read my last the next will be nectar black sweet tar, fans to cool your inside sins.

Now the spider feels the sting of the wasp. Numb. "willing sacrifice" . I like the deminished "vigor". Strong word with a weak visual. Nice touch. Then you make "servitude" bold. Your being stricksy... good stuff

[Muse]

it's always been my intent to manipulate people into servitude. lol

[David Scott]

I like looking back to this work and to see my gut response... Seems the truth does tell on itself.
You are brilliant btw...

This is definitely one of the most impressive pieces I have ever read. I know for a fact, that although i tried, i didn't understand it all the way...nor do I believe I would even if I read it 10 more times. In all honesty...I can't handle it.
You're one of those writers that has so many intentional meanings that every time a reader divulges their head repeatedly into one of your pieces, they come out dizzy with amazement and an amazed finding of yet another "new" meaning. Quite amazing if you ask me.
The meaning in this is so intense that I know that my words won't fully glorify it and by the time I deciphered it, my words would be pushing the bottom of the page. So, therefore, I will leave it as is and just waltz (I like that word haha) along side it looking upon it with utter amazement.
Amazing job
