Berliner Nacht

Lorenz

I love the sublime lewdness 

in this Berlin shadow theater .

Incestuous nuptials of bad champagne

and filthy rain,  that glides over 

leather and metal  in a glorious 

stench of vomit ...

 Ambiguous loves play the puritans

on the geometry of a fatal negligee...

 Drunken nocturnal  angels 

burning  their wings on the streetlights of infamy.

Bellies burdened with  the heavy  

harvest of sin ...

  champagne for nightmarish figures ! 

Mask and whip for party members !

at the gayguard changing ,

 Lili Marlene will be reborn as Horst Wessel !

     Charlottenburg .

a last subway stops before the fairytale begins...

 In a future long before midnight ,

in the back of a gambling  garden ,

I  recognized the ghost of a guerillero 

who looked just like Hemingway ,

dreaming about an inspired suicide ...

  Tired sleepwalkers wait for the first metro .

  Alexander Platz.

 a new death begins again ...

Somewhere  before  the day  after ,

an abandonned dog howls in anguish ,

mourning the lost child ...

 An elegant psychopath wanders through a city 

written in invisible letters of walls...

  Beautiful  lady : 

A dark horizon of black passion ,

clouds your eyes absence color .

  Tomorrow the void will belong  to us ! 

I covered your body with my lies 

of a talentless  poet ...

  at the hour when serial killers are about to fall asleep ,

I met the lord of the  flies on a street in Berlin...

    A rather dark feel, slippery as oil it comes out of the cobwebs like a spider after a fly. Well said in the last lines where the lord of the flies appears. Well done Lorenz

          Getting too close to the light is dangerous !

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Lorenz, what a dark and intoxicating piece! Berlin becomes a fever dream where decadence, history, desire, and violence stumble through the same night. Absolutely riveting work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

            A poet must sometimes walk through the mud if he wants to discover whose shoes left their footprints there !

          • turningpoint

            WELL SAID ESPECIALLY THE VERBS

            • Lorenz

              the city where emptiness is a living substance ...
