Broken Bones Against the Moon

My flesh sings a jangled rhmye of dying
crying it sings in the pyre of it's bitter burning
turning to the grotesque gargoyle god of mangled nights and days
always the terrier smell of my failed flesh trails after
laughter beating insanely against the walls of my padded cell
hell in the last savage twisting of a cap.
Rhyme me a riddle for living.
I release the amber river of doom
gloom exploding into baleful blistering light
height mellifluously melting and spreading to the sky
immensity a burst bubble boiling in my bruised gullet
bullet smashing into the sodden soaked marsh of my mind
blind under the pounding hooves of oblivion.
Rhyme me a riddle for loving.
Stars dance a mad satanic dance overhead
tread like demented fireflies in the gutter
sputter heavy across that hell-bound space
grace beheld briefly in a woman calmly passing
massing clouds obscuring the bloodstained city
pity the paltry wine of this world annointing me.
Rhyme me no riddle at all.
My flesh sings a jangled song of dying
flying proud above the debris and the loss
with a cross of broken bones against the moon.

Lots of lines in this one that grabbed me by the collar and shook me up....
bullet smashing into the sodden soaked marsh of my mind
blind under the pounding hooves of oblivion....
Stars dance a mad satanic dance overhead
tread like demented fireflies in the gutter
sputter heavy across that hell-bound space....
WOW impressive write, my friend. Peace, Laura |

With sadness I read this, my beloved friend. The feeling of gloom is overpowering. In an disconcerting way this is strangely macabre, even for you. Look for the sunshine, Billy. It is out there. We cannot dwell in the misery of life. We must throw off that mantle and walk free into the path that leads us from under those heavy clouds. Walk, Billy, walk forward and don't look back. One step forward, forward, forward.
As always,
Rita |

You are a remarkable and special person Billy. Let nobody tell u any different. Believe in urself. You have it in u my dear friend. I believe in u, I always have and I always will.
Chin up sweet guy and may ur days ahead be happy and memorable ones.
