The debt

Lorenz

Threshold  memory  ( 2 )

___________________________

They tell you about the bliss of a tunnel of light.

Immaterial creatures that flood you with waves of love .

Landscapes worthy of  Trumpland that makes you 

cry with happiness ..Ho ! Ho !  Ho ! 

You glide through the kingdom of seraphim

like a care bears series for retarded  kids !

   Hogwash all that ! 

Guys ,in the miasma of epidemic tenebras 

you're shivering with sweat and thirst ,

stunned by the moans and squeaks of hallucinated creatures 

that cling to you with the morbid desire to drag  you

into abysses of suffering and remorse ...

   Bullshit all that ! 

This damn' path is strewn 

with  brambles, ashes and ambers ,

nobody's waiting to say '' I love you ! ''

Alone before and even more alone after die and let die !

And coming back from the nightmare 

to find the nightmare again , 

beckoning the sulphurous demons on the road to hell,

you tell yourself with shame and disgust :

'' I  clean  my soul and alleviating me of a dirty debt ! ''

    Rather dark this poem runs with elements of a soliloquy. Nicely done

    • Lorenz

      Rather happy those who converse with lyre-playing angels !

    • Ellen Marsell

      Black existentialism, where death offers neither solace nor salvation. A grim vision reminiscent of Dante or Lovecraft.

      • Lorenz

        Taming the inner monster .

      • Sealgair

        This poem demands courage from the reader – to gaze into the abyss and admit that it’s staring right back.

        • Lorenz

          I also contemplate my own abyss dear friend !

        • Distant View

          Life is strange! When you are young you think you are invincible! When you grow old you realise you are not! But wisdom comes with age (if you are lucky) and you learn not to fear death. It awaits us all!

          A dark poem, with some interesting imagery!

          • Lorenz

            Thank you for your wise distant view !
