You and He

He speaks in riddles because no one knows,
There’s no way to know.  
And you...

Listening, 
Silent, 
The door moves. 

Words unspoken bequest a road
Torn, 
Unbalanced.  

His lying face will smile today.  
In the mist, he greets all visitors. 
His eyelids closed off to you…

Ill mannered confidence, 
Blood curdled sweetness, 
Bid you ado farewells.

Blunt hypnotics are shadows, 
Illusions, 
A movement unfelt by what has been.   

Borne to a quiet room, 
Why must he be led away?  
It’s you…

Stabbing at the livid beast, 
Bleakly crippled by the retreat, 
Surrendered again….

Subdued scenic relevance, 
Becomes his dreams to be.  
You…

Take his word as elegance 
Because he’s led you to believe 
Demonic casualties are nothing but a…

Themes so real, 
Surreal in blood,
Read by you…

‘Mind’s reflection 
Mould and tare away 
From the capsule’s of the dead.

Fallen, 
Spilling, 
He held on to you…

Idle plans crept beneath the 
Sight of the stagnant eyes,
And when he left to dream there was…

You and he.
