cimmerian dawn

08/2011 (Blood type B: Installment Six)

The snapping sounds of their bones

did very little to drown out the ringing

of the phone shoved in my pocket

the abrupt melody jars me out of my

horrific wonderland causing me to

pause in the moonlight that glistens

off my  d i s t o r t e d   bloodstained face

gasping the harassing device I toss

it away like a child would throw an 

unwanted toy

All the things that once were mine

have died inside what was just a

beautiful dream, I've descended 

into a cimmerian dawn, a futile 

place of vanity and monstrosity

there will be no crossing over

to  s o m e w h e r e  divine, just an 

endless existence of solitude

and slavery to the manifestation 

that has taken over within 

Its a dead new day

To me, this is your truest, most beautiful, pristine writing voice. I fell in love with you 32 times as I read this. Mostly bc I'm freakishly enamoured with poetic phrases of lyrical perfection and every word oozed the sounds of your creative divine brilliance. Nothing contrived or forced. I felt like I finally heard "you" here. My sense is that wherever you were mentally, psychologically, spiritually while writing this is the home of your authentic self....Your Kansas.....:)
