Confiding in you
About lacklustre love
And how it scarpers away
Amongst the blue hue
That taints midday
Midway through.
What to do as it slips
Like dew
Into
Such shapeless forms
That fail to conform
To any preconceived solid notion
Of twisted verse and clanging adverbs
I am not adverse
To the spouting of curse
From which I coerce
And engineer
'Til you become malleable my dear
And then from here
You’ll do as I wish
I have to tear
This smile of fear.
Ill grab the gaffer
Tie you down
Take a basin
Gurgling now
Spiraling drown
Tunneling through
Uncharted waters.
Forbidden quarters
As pirates do
As what they pursue
Is gaiety too.
But I won’t get it
What I need
So I’ll take it
Clasp it
Voice goes raspy
The beauty of the whimper
Simplicity.
Unfortunately for you
Wedlock surpassed me
Come my buxom layabout
Lets get classy.
You could have listened
I told you this
Think of the summers
I’ve made you miss
But tell me this too
In honest truth
What lies behind
What we do
How to function
How to live
How to breathe
What gifts to give
Its happiness sought
Can’t be measured
Not yet bought
Solace treasured.
I loved you once
Still I do
The damage
I managed
To cause
You
Lacking, contemplative, pauses.
I spite you now
Edging down
Bag in hand
Solemn frown
Discerning looks
Piercing glance
Splice you now
With shards of glass
The day after the night before.
As you rest in
The stupour of mourning.
Skittish and ill
The wave of the thrill
Standing dead still.
In this twisted eve.
Circling in the eastern luckless leaves
Drunkards and thieves
Conveyor of dreams
Or so it seems
Lets shift floorboards up
Waltz we shall
With your corpse cold
Limp and proud
Stand up my dear
Lets spin to Swan Lake
Now you have to dance
For entertainments sake
