Such a fickle thing as destiny

 Such Fickle 

Things as Destiny.
+++++++++++++

What's the matter
Dear heart?...

Have the walls bled 
out?

Are you...

Running out of 
symbols?

Last night I fed
My 
Tears to wolves of
Prey

Who forgot the taste
Of love.

(and puked their 
Bestial
Souls upon The Floor
Of
Yesterday.)

+

The clock is such 
A
Menace.

(It used to be 
My 
Friend.)

Every hour is 
A
Threat to Me now.

(which taunts me 
with
The End.)

+

What's the matter 
Dear Hate?

Do your eyes no 
Longer 
Bleed for me?

Feast your feeble
Mind
Upon the Hell I shall
Create!

Without one shred 
Of
Belief.

(in such fickle 
Things
As destiny.)

The bullseye ends with ME.

 Hope can be a dangerous

Thing


To feed starving souls for

Breakfast;


Especially when seasoned 

with

The Salt of Irony, and left on

A

Burner of Dark Thoughts for too Long.


Would you offer a Shadow 

mere

Pieces of itself?


(don't tell me Love is wrong.)


+


Follow me my sweet ...


Beyond

The Simple 

Bounds

of

Lusts Bullet- trajectory.


You've certainly hit your 

Mark

This Time.


(but the bullseye ends with 

Me)

half-past-timeless

Half-past-timeless.

+++++++++++++

I sat up last night 

till 

Half-past-timeless,..


counting shadow- sheep

Who's

bleats were lions roars;


wondering if she loves 

Me

Less or More.. 


than the 

eternity

in which



She loved me 

Once before.

+

but there is no 

resolution..

or 

Solution.. 


to The Mystery

which


plagues my soul ..


+


and even 

now 

(in the eternity of my death) 

am haunted by the cruel 

reminder 

am little more than a fucking 

ghost.


(too dead within to 

even be 

a

Memory.)

The doomed fish

The doomed fish.
+++++++++++++

Days ago I said
Goodbye to sleep
because my dreams
exhaust me

and 
I trust em even less
than
this Current Waking
State

Where 
Angels stand on street
Corners

legs open and
Smokes
Dangling from their 
ever-
-Snarling- Lips of
Misplaced 
Hate

(I loved them all but
could
Never afford one)

I'm sad alot but 
never
knew what happy was
and maybe
that's
the real tragedy in
all 
This cluster-fuck

Damn


No wonder my only
Friend
Never bothers to punctuate

what's the point?


If others can't read 
Between
The blurred lines they
were
doomed from the start any
way
Because if you can't draw 
your
Own Conclusions most
will
quickly conclude you're
not 
worth the effort 

and 
never
Deserved
Any
Of
Those
Angels 

who slay
The
Beasts chomping 
on 
your
Histrionic Heart

+

(Five days later and 
I'm
Clinging to consciousness
like
A doomed fish wallowing
on
A beach 

drowning 
In his
own 
Fish bullshit

STILL

Trying to 
remember!!

(If those fuckin
Angels 
Ever smiled.)

Grave flowers

Grave Flowers.
+++++++

Tonight my love
Your
Eyes are Grave-Flowers,

Growing 
On the Tombstone
Of
My Heart;

(Here lies a 
Tortured Soul.)

But
can you resurrect
The
Dead Dreaming
In
My Broken Head?

Or do such voices
Live
On only in memories?

(Which shall forever
Torture Me.)

Misfit Hearts

A land of
Misfit Hearts.
+++++++++++++

This is why 
you
Never give 
your
Love away.

When you come 
from
A
Land of Misfit 
Hearts.


(and soulless 
renegades.)

Look (my flame)
A
Razorblade!!

My spirit now
departs...

(and you've cut 
The 
Smiles away.)
