Nightmare Horses.

Nightmare Horses.
++++++13++++++

The days drag by
like Corpses tied
to Nightmare Horses.

(Without faith in
My Head.)

I was a General
once of Holy Forces.

(Now I Command
The Living Dead.)

+

I hate the way
that
Moonlight stares.

(through the
crumbling
Walls of Memory.)

It seems the Gods
No longer care!

(Heavens Host
Became The
Enemy.)
++

Salvation is
not an option,..
(Hell,..perhaps it
never was?)
as I lay here in
My Cardboard
Coffin!!

(lamenting the loss
of Love.)

+++

And....

The Night Marches
On like a Heartless
Cavalry..

headed toward The
Final War.

Knowing (In Time)
it shall see Victory!!

(And the Light will
Shine No More.)

another dead end romance

my love..
its not your fault..
really..
you just fell in love.

with:

( The
Wrong
Personality.)

sleep will return,,
eventually,

and there will be
a time,
(again)
when the cleansing
candles
burn his stench
from memory.

+++13+++

then..
perhaps i could
have
half a chance?

to create
another
Dead End
Romance!!

(until theres
Nothing Left
of Me.)

To: The Artist Formerly
Known as Human Being.
(pt. 2)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

You seemed Righteous
on your SoapBox-Pulpit..

preaching to A Mass
of Sad-Faced Puppets..

Lamenting The Loss
of Imaginary Love.

(as if you somehow
earned it.)

+++

The Bottle Doesn't
Lie..

but it makes liars of
some.

Liars of The Dead
at Heart..

who assume to be
the Only Ones!!

(to ever feel A
Moment Dark.)

+++

Perhaps the Star
you ate did Not
Agree?

Would not relent
to petty charms..

or break
The Hand of
Destiny!

(now slowly Dying
In Your Arms.)

+++

I pity you my former
friend..

(as much as you
seem to pity me.)

but nonetheless I
wont pretend..

that A Puppet Blind
could ever See!

(how Imaginary
Love will bring
Your End.)

j.s.h.

with love no longer here

with love no longer here.
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Another Night spent
staring into the Dark..
with shadows feasting
on my Heart.
(dreaming of your
stare.)

I need you Love..
but youre no longer
there..

in your house of
Happy Angels..
waiting.

(to deliver me from
This Nightmare.)

You claimed to love
the Beast I Am,
and tamed the darker
parts of me.

but it seems that No
One gives a Damn.

(and faith becomes a
memory.)
+++

To Hell with these
lying stars!,...

i know where theyre
all from!

this place where hope
becomes a Scar.

(and no one flees
Hates Wicked Kingdom.)

+++

Another night staring
at the mocking clock..
(fighting back crimson
tears)

knowing soon my heart
will stop.

(with Love no longer
here.)

j.s.h.

a sane mans hand

A Sane Man's Hand.
_____________________

I've sat up many a drunken
Night,
Playing poker with shadows
And light,..

The light is always
best at bluffing.

(Shadows feast
Upon untruth like
parasites.)

Bartender...
Make it a triple
This time..

I'll be in the
corner mumbling
To My Selves,

(an odd series
Of broken
Rhymes.)

Staring thirstily
 at the liquor
Shelves.

Hoping I never
draw A Sane
Man's Hand!!

(Since Reality
Is My Hell.)

a time in restless youth

A time in restless youth.
+++++++++++++

There was time
In restless youth,
When I began to feel,
That I possessed a
Profound truth.

(Which to others
Seemed unreal.)

Angels stood beside
Me then and sang
Their Angel Songs;

While every creature
Was my friend.

(Incapable of wrong.)

+++

But now time is
A mockery,
And I am but a
Man,

Who swims dark
Seas of Misery!!

Without purpose,
Faith..or plans.

J.Stephen.H.
