The last day

Lorenz

I listen to this sleepy blues 

of the last day of eternity .

Rain leaves a scent of rust on life.

I seek harmony in the sublime

 indifference and nobility 

   of disenchantment ...

 Porgy and Bess  are back 

in bounty hunter paradise..

My thoughts drifting in the dark

ocean of tired inspiration ...

 Frozen landscape of a Flemish primitive

populated by livings reincarnated 

as thinking street furniture ...

  Futile carnival in the gutter .

I can only find  writing 

orphaned of  words ,

pathetic lunar node ...

 Love offering me bitter parody,

 losing lottery and mockery

thrown onto a virgin page 

void of any mystery .

 But it remains like an enigma ,

 a dissociated  voice ,

  searching for the path 

in a maze leading somewhere 

beyond the last day of eternity.

 Damned poetic alchemy ...

 Who keeps lying to me .

  • nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

    thoroughly enjoyed, happy new year

  • Ellen Marsell

    An atmospheric text, dark and slow, with a sense of exhausted meaning and desire to say a final word.

    • Lorenz

      Final word for a lethal world !

    • sorenbarrett

      The science of reason makes no gold of lead. Bess is out of drugs and Porgy has to beg for them but found the Flemish Privatives had gone home to the Netherlands five centuries ago. So he pulled up a resurrected chair once property of an orphan. Another surrealistic read that seems more a Hermanus Bosch painting. A trip through the cosmos my friend

      • Lorenz

        Five centuries ago the eternity was still very primitive...

      • Dan Williams

        Little things like "scent of rust" and "nobility of disenchantment " and "Damned poetic alchemy" make this special. Nice work.

        • Lorenz

          Thank you Dan ! Alchemy of disenchantment ...
