Abyss (older, but I'm finally posting it)

The rhythm traipses through
The abyss of mortality.
The breath of winter, with
Its starry icicles clawing at
The heartless moon,
Inscribes its soul on
The wings of my wounded faith.

The twisted vines of
Mermaid dreams
Embellish my marred flesh,
Obscuring the evidence of
My bonfire-bright abhorrence
And mirroring the endless
Seclusion of rock-bottomless
Sorrow and neglect.

Visions of cotton candy
Clouds collide with
The senseless recollections
Of constant criticisms and
Promises rendered empty.
Each mistake and malicious intent
Perpetuates the illusion
Of gossamer existence.

Pungent cologne,
Corpses of patio pain,
The rusted link of a
Chain and shackle that
Should be torn asunder.

Forced thoughts,
Well-meaning people
Attempting to repair me
And bind my wounds,
Illuminate the concealed
Remains of the hollow
Skeleton in the closet
Of my mournful spirit.

  1. This is probably my fav because of the recurring comparisons in different form.
