Tears of a Monster


My pen has been squeezed tighter
These last true lines of revelation,
Revealing emotions that dribble red drops of ink
Onto cloudy irises already tinctured with pain
As I struggle and fight with the sin of my nature
Trying to regain balance and purity in my life
Lost one morning the sun forgot to shine
Leaving nights of cold rain and tempered calm
To my soul shadowing thoughts beyond the flames warmth,
Gently embracing flowers known only to Heaven
As an apparition of an Angel inhales sweet fragrances
Until jealousy, hunger, and loneliness have been consumed,
A burning bitterness in the stomach,
Regurgitated into words, tattoos and songs
From the heart of a poet, dreamer and man…
But sometimes monster.

Marcel

Power within the lines of this briar rose.
Well descript, the battle of the soul to live in light.
A hunger sensed beneath the words...
Write it out.
