My Oubliette
Simmering unquiet mind.
The dark hole it has to find.
Fear of being me, at war with the ‘other’ constantly!
The blood bleeds just the same. The pain always seems to remain. For what can’t it let free? What the hell is wrong with me?
Noises in the night. Hair stands in some kind of fright! Dreams I

Oubliette
In time my senses came to terms
With such medieval justice,
And found the hole they cast me in
Accustomed to my taste.
I’d made myself a tidy home,
Proclaimed myself Augustus.
Content within my realm of stone,
All memories erased.

My Oubliette
My companion is confusion
There are demons to be fought.
They reside inside my mind,
Messing with my thoughts.
I try not to listen
But they whisper in my ear,
They tell me awful, awful things
While laughing at my fear.

Saying it would help, but yet
My mind is still imprisoned
In this mental oubliette.

Oubliette
Calligraphic psyche in a delicately expressed avalanche;

Four walls house the sweet suicide, boxing floor to ceilings;
Heavy pen seeking solace, in the paper basket of crumpled feelings.
Woven casket of emotions, burning in the fire of memoirs' curse;
Heart bleeding in the small print, upon his white board's

Oubliette
Like the deepest darkest chamber
Way below the castle wall
There’s no one to see the teardrops
There’s no one to hear you call
High above a light is shining
Is that laughter you can hear
People talking, people playing
While you’re trembling with fear
Though the cell is non existent
You have only you to blame
There’s no lock, there are no bars
But it

If the day comes
that I shall write no more
not aTo exist as ordinary.ble to canvas
visual fantasies of my soul.
On that day! I shall be ousted as an artist.
