THE MICHAEL

You sang to me
In a bizarre fashion
Alas! To know thee
What hate, what passion

Oh, to be thee
With all the black and this
The desire to be free
Brilliant is what it is

I could never swim
To the depths you drown
Your mind is grim
And knows no ground

This poem is merely rust
It's essence is less, at most
Than the forgotten dust
In the shadow of your ghost

I raise my glass
To thy supreme diction
And scream; Alas!
If only you weren't fiction
