Poetic curse

Lorenz

True poetry is a blade spitting

ventricles and entrails .

Somber melancholy that the abyss 

of night nurtures .

Lethal carnival,famine and amphetamines,

let your fever run wild and ending 

in sanctified delirium ...

  Tone of imprecations shedding 

every scale of  measure , 

  all reason, abandoning ,

awakening the sleepless spectres ...

  Usefools defile the throne ,

reducing the halls of power to ashes ! 

pendulous bodies dance 

 in the trade winds in trance...

Circus games and orgies bore me .

The stable seems so empty since you left...

 Ho great Nero play the lyre for me !

Poetry ,you don't need  words ,

you feed on the fruit of chaos ,

 blood -soaked crop fields  

 and song of the black cohorts !

 those who  sow dreams ,reap storm ,

every one who believes king's promises 

sign a covenant of renunciation with the serpent !

  The radiant seraph wears the dark mask 

of one like you ...

 Messages of peace and fraternity 

that lighten up the walls of public restroom 

where pure consciences find relief ...

 Let's throw the crumbs from our stale bread 

to the brave rats waiting for the next messiah !

  Raven's cry ,allelujah ! 

Sage Pilatus share with your humble servant 

the murky water of your  hand !

  I would watch the procession  of stoners go by, 

and to find holy  inspiration ! 

 Wicked thief , let me follow down your trail of embers 

where virtue rots and altar fails ...

  I will feast and plunder ,overturn the sacred  table ! 

The sulphuric judgement will bring me release...

   I carry within me this bubonic social poetry !

      Eternal curse ...

    powerful my friend

    The poem has a temperament of its own. It’s anarchic, politically embittered. It seems determined to desecrate the very idea of beauty when beauty becomes a cover for cruelty. What’s fascinating is that the poem barely lets you catch your breath.

          Missed him

          The saints have lost their faces, the jester has inherited the pulpit, and even the ashes seem to have something left to confess.

            Can transgression of the sacred symbols -which claims to abolish old order-escape its own contradictions ?

            Lorenz, I absolutely lost it when you brought Nero into the proceedings! LOL! At that point, I figured we'd abandoned any hope of a civilized evening. Magnificent! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

              The ash of dawn will purify the damned souls !
