Stalemate
"Stalemate"
Words mean nothing
to me when the
sky is sucked out
from the lungs
of people
dying daily
where do I
put my love
when cities
are dying
lucid writing disappears
vacant, lost, dead
war orphans
stolen children
the beautiful
innocence torn
to pieces, parents
buried bloody
Stalemate
tear stained
souls stand up
fierce ghosts
arms holding guns
praying their
beautiful poems
glory
like a river runs
all my stories
are empty
lines of
murderous
crows
black shadows
sentences
locked
bullets
shoot the full stops
stalemate
waiting
in the
impossible place
another
Progressive Bloc
manifesting amnesty
watching
the sky fall
under
mushroom clouds
on a strange
new world
standing still
stalling for time
to kill
the venomous
monster
demon tsar
Voldemort
the devil sits aloof
playing chess
with his insanity
back to the wall
alone in his
frozen friendless
Kremlin
he’s a cowboy
when he’s triggered
standing still
stalling for time
watching
the sky fall
under
mushroom clouds
on a strange
new world
waiting
for Morning Star
to show his face
in a smoke filled
blue sky haze
riding bareback cavalry
he’s a cowboy
when he’s triggered
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)
"My Love" / Florence & the Machine

"I was always able to write my way out
Song always made sense to me
Now I find that when I look down
Every page is empty
There is nothing to describe
Except the moon still bright
against the worrying sky ..."
