Bug

Lorenz

I'm in your story 

like a passing alien

in your grey days 

and rainy brain hours.

I'm this dating 

in the diary ,

crossed out in black ink

that you'll meet 

in the arms of another.

You sit in the kitchen ,

warming the kettle 

sweetening your tea with tears.

Little kitty  buggered off ...

You see, I'm still  here .

 Squatting on this desolated 

spider's web  .

 The wedding dress is discarded...

Sand cast on the stars 

by a black thoughts merchant ...

I've got the entry code 

to your dreams ,

Inviting me into the intrigue ,

jostling the furniture 

and opening the windows 

to all the winds of dementia .

Naughty gremlin giving you no respite !

I know ,you love me like an old companion

who kills  you  so tender ...

In the smog of this cursed ciggy

and the blues of the booze...

'' Take the plunge on the tracks ! ''

You whisper a soft voice ...

 But your to cowardly to live 

and lacking of courage to die ...

 Are you just an interim 

of an intermediate  universe ?

Poetry laughs at your grotesque arabesques !

The twisted roof of your  ragged haikus

make the disabled bonsai laugh  !

   At the nothingness kiss terminal 

I'll be waiting for  you ...

 Mouths full of silence 

 sharing the same wanderlust.

You're just a toy I want to do without .

 But which of us is the other's bug ?

    Now this is a poem of some I have know and of me at times. A very nicely written poem with so many great lines and images. Poignant and felt.

    • Lorenz

      A sublime bug in the machine .

    • Ellen Marsell

      Love turned into poison?
      A poetic mini-drama laced with humor... The imagery borders on surreal, yet remains emotionally recognizable.

    • Lorenz

      A story rather worthy of a stay in a psychiatric ward !
