50 Words For Poe: Numbers
“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

“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."
