i.
and the gore, the gore
the nervous hovering of the ectoplasmic skull-balls
in their red jelly;
in their broken plooded brains,
aneurysms grow on them like morning glories,
always there to salute the sun, and
incalculably breeding
until all that's left is the dry, bloodless field
of the heart.

ii.

lullabye, lullabye
you softly sing me away
'til i'm there
and you just sway

the orchids were nauseous
and the nightmare/daydream whore
stared at me
(she's such a bore)

when i'm through with this itch
i'll leave it to the muses
to cover
the dream bruises

don't undress my love
you might find a mannequin:
don't undress the mannequin
you might find
my love

Martini, Welcome to PiP and the "Dark" Forum.

I like what I've read so far, look forward to more.

(Your Bukowski "sig" makes you a favorite, already.)

Very fine writing D.A

Yours truly
~Broken~

Such griefs with such men well agree,
But wherefore, wherefore fall on me ?
To be beloved is all I need,
And whom I love, I love indeed.
