Pavement stones lead up to the charnel house. (Inside: Insects spill out of a numb mind.) I stretched my hands to the infinite skies but now I must enter (Inside: ). Down the corridors of steel, reflecting a centuries atrocity, to the darkening centre of The Hive; a haven of our immortality where the withering vessels of God’s children are given way as hosts. “ Life after Death. You shall have it will come forth from inside.” (Inside: Eggs spawn larva, Locusts sing the lullabies to the new born. Death’s horsemen trumpet the Day of Revelations, Welcome The Lord of the Flies). The prostitute embraces her flock \ her children. On stroke of lust she blinds all with her clipped wings. REVELATION 9.4: they remain passive only creating not destroying. The stench is unbearable, We when born have it trust upon us and are told to bask in its glory until we return to the origin: The Charnel Hive. (Inside: It writhes churning a sickness to feed us. Burned upon us we bear its image. In death we join The Hive: our Promised Land attained). < !signature--> ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

Isis, I loved "Aliens" but the poem arose from some warped thought I had about dead bodies in a building with flies laying eyes and how that could be seen life after death, that we could just be hosts. Grim thoughts I know. thanks for your wonderful reply. lotharingia, sorry if I scared you but there is more where that came from. at least you don't have to live with my thoughts LOL thanks for your wonderful response Spitfire, It is an old poem 3 years old at least when I wrote pretty grim stuff.

I started hunting down some I missed. God this is deliciously dark, I also thought it was a throw back from aliens, but I looked at your response. Anyway this is so great I had to bring it up again. and give some of the new poets a chance to see it. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Great imagery! This painted a wonderful picture of technology gone awry and the end of the world. |
