Passions silent passing
never noticed till it's gone
red wine stained , forgotten hours,
memories lost
when I belonged.

While the tedium of conflict
like a snake bite to the brow
spreads its grotesque poison
throughout my life
somehow.

Unspoken words collect themselves
in walls of deep debris
abscounding all thats meaningful,
controlling what I
see.

Routine becomes my purpose,
banality, my cure.
Sleep prescribes the seditive
for what I must
endure.

Phantoms lie beyond my sight
in solid disarray
emasculate my energy
not caring
what they say

Sending Jackyls, in disguises
knawing bone and tearing flesh
for them no absolution
when the meat they smell
is fresh

The world is full of midnight
predation rules the streets
cachophony tears the morbid air
with jeers of
whores and cheats


And when in time, this insolance,
has eaten its full share
May eternal constipation
leave them writhing
in despair.

Two powerful writes this morning Bags!
You should never eat a big meal just before bedtime,.......


               " Sending Jackyls, in disguises
                knawing bone and tearing flesh
                for them no absolution
                when the meat they smell
                is fresh

                The world is full of midnight
                predation rules the streets
                cachophony tears the morbid air
                with jeers of
                whores and cheats


                And when in time, this insolance,
                has eaten its full share
                May eternal constipation
                leave them writhing
                in despair."

This will happen sometimes....Seriously....superb writing!

You are posting some outstanding poetry...

I feel you may be having a little difficulty
with maybe having put the same poem under
two titles...

You can ask one of the moderators to delete
the dupe...

Also,  there is an edit link at the top
of each poem we post,  where we can go into
the poem and change the title and the text
if we desire to...  Sunshine will help you
fix any probs you may have...

I am really enjoying your poetry...thank you.

Hi ethome,

Yeah, those midnight snacks can be devestating to the old digestive track. Glad you liked the poem. Peace

BRAVO!!! Oh my gosh, this is such a wonderfully captivating write, sweet friend, there is indeed much cacophony and haunting mnaterial in our world today, but yet there can always be a passion unlike any other that can pierce the smoke and bring light forth again! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, use the Edit Button which would be the third button to your right on the post options bar and you can edit if you wish, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thanks for the comments. This was written during a very hard time in my life (thankfully over) when I was in the midst of a legal battle with my ex-wife. Very Un-Fun!
