Dedicated to Casarah Nance

 

 

 

Beautiful Disaster

Beautiful Disaster

There she is
Silhouette in the night
Lights glimmer, as fame simmers
She is all of my desires
She is all of my fires

Here I am wet
Flooded with pain
There she is dry
As a desert rain
Her beauty rouge bleeding into my soul

I wash my hands
I wash my meaningless life
Of sins and woes
Alcohol in the sails
As I fade to seas far away

She at my feet
Singing her lovers lullaby
Me in the wind
Of sadness’s despair
The air soon to confess a sin

All my life, no lover in the morning bed
No future for a chance to wed
There she is now so devoted
Yet here we both are so bloated
Throats cut and floating

On a rivers dream

Dear Arthur To the skilled bard who has fallen in love with the words and vision of a faded rose always captured in a timeless repose, love's enchantment is a spell binding thing, when I read Poe's poem Anibel Lee I feel the same thing as you my friend, it takes my breathe away and I'm lost under this masters spell, love this and give you a seven just wonderful work here my friend, cheri

It got morbid but sounded very cool and poetic nonetheless. Casarah writes amazing poetry, as do you. So this was meant to be!!
