"Immaculate Lost"
Closed door.
A cell shared
in constant
heartache
counting days
on a cold wall
words counted
tears fill a well
there is the ocean
where sharks dwell
sharp teeth
and vicious minds
unforgiving
that do not weep
stone hearts
a voice cuts conscience
bleeds red a river deep
life lives somewhere
kept caged waiting
for the keys
Home
while the
Ravens and Crows
bleed reason lost
their comedy responds
in ignorant rhymes
deadly whispers
to a mind
kept locked
counting numbers
time and children lost
in nightmare's frost
beats in time to a
stale Metronome sailing
a recalcitrant planchette
sullen yet undefeated
wraith heart pounds
beneath the
frozen surface
in the depths of
black banshee shadow
beneath eyes
that reign through
windows of pain
while kneeling
before Pallas
Athene
still meets you
in her dreams
Immaculate Lost
Nevermore
Again
(LadyLabyrinth/2019)
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore...
