Bleed Upon Blood

I My soul shattered by the bullet of betrayal… Shivering shards sliced throughout my sullen system Nights nag with naissant nightmares Mornings moved as malignant monsters Trust twisted in tabescent thorns tearing within me Silence stabbed my skin over and over since I ignored prayer, mindfulness and God above I believed in money and stood As a gluttony, greedy foolish glideroy entity The empire of emptiness exhausted me… My heart hovered in the chains of my inner being Crimson tides of bewildering blood sustained me Somber singing penetrated my lonely ears For I heard the poignant prayers of promise Seep through my sinister sins of unrequited seduction For there remained no regal relief of my convictions My heart gave my soul a sacralized sword of triumph Who betrayed me? Me, myself and I… For I stole the stars from my soul January 16th 2022
