Unbearable Beauty In Black
Unbearable Beauty in Black
The light has fallen down the endless solid cliffs
dejected there it sparkles lures on impact’s flight
Gunshots from a black revolver six shiny bullets
one bright explosion flashes mindless radiance
The hangman darkly clothed in jester’s gown
mocks tarred and feathered un-dyed blaze
A dose of over un-pigmented pills and pillage
sweet dreams of quiet and one last muddy void
Black is unbearable the pastel brush demised
but after thunder slowly comes the rainbow
A sentinel cries crisis please do not head the call
the change of guards disguised in shining armour
Requires holding on to blackness’ shielding voice
until unbearable becomes bearable once more
Pitch-miserable epiphany shouts when you cannot
want not paint no more yet flaking scraps find colour
Once you resist seductive guile beheading escapades
embrace depression as your strongest torch of change
