The Lucifer Complex

In this b*****d of a sunset, where you set loose

to find a road away from his guilty noose.

The sun caught you in a seeming act of betrayal,

“Nay,” the Moon said. “My brother has your tail.

For this is not vengeance, only triumph of the will.

You are destined to dog-hood--to sit and sit still.”

The Moon told you this, but you do not rest.

You act as if your clock is tied in my vest.

You think it easy to control one’s life?

Is father time so forgiving to a bitching little fife?

Or can I forget my maiden’s regret?

The devil, the diva--what else to detest?

With Hell or high water, your Anima is dead!

Animus perverts precious thoughts in your head!

This hate, your maze, so evil--complex!

To the horrors you make, even Lucifer would contest!

“These are not games--these are atrocities!”

So said the angel of the darkest philosophies!

Despise, despise, despise, I do!

To all of the self-made idols of you!

I have not words to articulate

the feelings I have--hate will not compensate.

But will vodka drown you? Or the road kill you?

How will the new Lucifer turn black and blue?

"But will vodka drown you? Or the road kill you?
How will the new Lucifer turn black and blue?"
No weakness in this poem. A honest poem with strong statements. It come a time when you cannot turn back. Vodka and bad dreams is all we will have. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

Man, do I love this poem. A very original concept and the execution is at a very high level. Great job. I can't wait to read more.

This piece is simply awesome. I'm certainly saving it in my favorites. I really enjoyed reading it and plan on reading it again. It begins so mellow and spiritual and then gets intense and energetic. Love it.

That was interesting. Very different from the norm. It was very nicely written
