Poem
“50 Words for Poe: Numbers” He was given a number He counted the days just number after number Finally arrives the day he is free The Nightmare never ends He is not free to be He His heart sits in a cell of a kind But he doesn’t want "kindness" He wants what was lost What was lost is far behind him He thinks what was lost, is now living free There sits the Number Endlessnism Men and Women who are Numbers sit there Eyes counting time, Ears counting raindrops Room No. 9 Another place Another time Tears are suspended in the void, a White Room no doors floating numbers He waits for answers arms outstretched hung on his own crucifix no genuflection Black Schism Endlessnism She sends him stories from 666 Asylum She is the Night Nurse From her Cell She has risen Come to haunt him in Hell She haunts to ensure him Somewhere he isn’t a number Somewhere he exists not a mark on the wall - On her night walk She bumps into The Others sitting tight in their cells She has "No Time" to rest, No Time, there is no time in this pall, No Time, no longer exists, No Time not at all A Causal Loop Not a noose for his neck A Temporal Paradox Complex At midnight he calls the ghost from his mobile phone Better thought, he abruptly disconnects - Insanity, he has no mirror to reflect He is just a number She is his Ghost She is Lillith He is not Her Saviour His Nemesis exists in Room 9 Asylum 666 He’ll go to the grave with her As Above so Below This is promised His nights and days are endless He wonders the halls of his mind When does he enter Her story Mr MIN No. XXXX counting numbers in time When finally his freedom is truly free He will think of a way to re-write his story History He thinks he is missing his sanity What he is missing is The Key Silver Lady is their key There shines "LOVE" on the Road to Free and Happy Silver Lady is their key He is not Her saviour But soon he is free to be a new "he" He is his own saviour Silver Lady is their key (LadyLabyrinth/2019) gvlm https://youtu.be/uhtVOPl6qEg “Evil indeed is the man who has not one woman to mourn him.” “Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.” Camus “Love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness, of hatred, of jealousy, and, most easily of all, the gate of fear." https://youtu.be/AzHvYWhmulA
