Can God Speed the Black Emperor?


The candle light is fading
in the whispers of
October evenings
and the long shadows of
the world press all around.
You bring forgiveness
in the midst of my blindness.
It's  a hint at salvation like
sirens hint at coming storms,
but it seems to pass without
targeting my heart for destruction.
I need deconstructing you know.
Hearts of stone with orange notes
attached, screaming of some impending
implosion.
Thank God for the candles,
the flames seeping out of my pores
are less noticeable.
Thank God for October and its
imploding leaves. What a scene I've become.

umm- your words always have a way of surpriseing me- in the fact that they should not fit together in the world of reality and real things- and yet they do and so beautifully i might add.

and in the daylight i miss the nightmare- but deathly fear it in the dark of night
