Lost Love Deliria - Part 2
Part 2
4th Delirium: Lost Souls
Sunken cities , pilgrims peering.. gawking,
squinting eyeballs, blazing sun
Janus facing, shepherds chasing.. stalking,
friends embrace before they shun
Tearooms steaming, tumult teeming.. talking,
lovers listen, poets pun
Broken stones unanchored, quaking.. rocking,
slipping, falling, one by one
Beaten pathways, footsteps marking.. mocking,
wedged in webs which spiders spun
Circus shelters, big tops tumbling.. locking,
people pacing, soon they’re none
Numbered exits, zeros numbing.. knocking,
midnight daylight’s days undone
Moon blood shackles, shivers shaming.. shocking,
starlight striders streaking, stun
Hushed but harried hermits waiting.. walking,
restless rainbows on the run
Pixies, elves, and echoes bouncing.. balking,
fading fast when dawn’s begun
Bantum butterflies are flitting.. flocking
sometimes conquered, overrun
Hokus pokus, seers focus.. squawking,
voodoo wavered, witchcraft won
5th Delirium: Introspection
Sundown furnace, fires fading.. coughing,
dusky dew drops drain the air
Empty chalice, sipped in silence.. quaffing,
thirsting shadows unaware
Looking glass and lattice scorning.. scoffing,
local loser gapes and stares
Faces covered, dancing naked.. doffing,
peering inside, hope despairs
6th Delirium: The Void
Tales of taboos, mystic mythos.. missing,
windows shuttered, bolted door
Kindled candles, tongues and anvils.. hissing,
heavy hammers, echoes roar
Dark deceivers, raven charmers.. kissing,
draging demons from the shore
Hopeless hollows filled with doubters.. dissing
standing empty - nevermore
7th Delirium: Searching
Martyred monks haunt runic ruins .. waiting,
banging broken bells below
Vaulted hallways, voided voices.. grating,
churning Chinese chimes aglow
Granite graveyards, spectres spooking.. skating,
blackened bushes, roses grow
Midget dwarfs seek mutant migrants.. mating,
packing parcels, ice and snow
8th Delirium: Nighttime
Throbbing drumheads, fingers blazing.. steaming,
coins of copper, beggars plea
Rusty residues of resin.. streaming,
opal amber filigree
Orphan shades in shallow shadows.. teeming,
steeping twigs in twilight tea
Cloister doorsteps, Prophets gaming.. scheming,
tracing tracks of destiny
Blacksmiths blanching, horseshoes glowing.. gleaming,
partially sheathed in black debris
Phantoms feigning, nightmares scathing.. screaming,
dusty dreamers drifting free
