Notes About The Poem

One Devils Silent Scream

One sleeps
	The other cries

One wakes
	The other dies



One slumbers as a nervous moon weeps
The pain slowly creeps and ebbs away

One wakes at the rising sun
Torment invades, inflicting anew

Twenty fours black roses
Hours of the thorn

We laugh, stabbed by flower's scorn
Pain inflicted, by day and by years

He from a tormented hell, 
Me hanging from anxieties moon

Scourge grabbing us by the throat
Agony is a universal rickety boat

Life is so beautiful
For the very few

We, of the other side
All suffer along with you

Hugging the pain
Limping in the rain

Letters and words they soothe
The aches they never fully lose

Twenty four poisonous roses
Thorns inflicting horrendous terror

Never ending  story
We eat our destiny, and retain no glory
