Twilight

I fade away in tears this twilight as my fears sense the blackening sky, the elusive night choking the presence of day. I hide alone in my cellar, drunk with the stench of my own odor… wrenched up between “filthy” thoughts. You crush me beneath your sweaty palm as you lurk in your soundless shadows that carve away the decency of my “sickening” mind. Infested they say it is, fizzled with rot… drizzled with uncharmly things. I curse them with my numb tongue… these dirty bastards, I cleanse them with my salivate mouth. Perhaps I taste the sour life in their veins, Insane I suck the soul from their weak bodies to fill my own with another man’s thoughts. I kiss their wicked lips… That red evidence of my crime, allow them to taste their own death… As they too fade away in tears this twilight.

Hurts all the way down to the soul, vivid words allowing the reader to feel the sorrow as they read. Excellent piece.

This poem makes a powerful statement about a soul in sorrow brilliantly written with the hand of a master poet. Magnificent!
