a demon of my very own

Contributed by simonwrite on Wednesday, 4th November 2009 @ 11:24:24 AM in AEST
Topic: abstract

I have barcode etched into the back of my neck with magnetic ink
The devils scans it and charges every time I buy a bad decision
Last Thursday I overdrafted guess I need to get wiser with my spending
cause Lady luck’s lazy eye does not fall upon those with bad credit
I feel the sun climbing up my throat choking light reveals dark corners
I m smiling with beach bum solar bleached teeth
The horizon line of my tounge is preaparing to extend soft welcoming rays
Of daybreak
But I see something bigger than the sun on my horizon
When that egg is finally dislodged from my esophagus
Itll split on the ground revealing red yolk and a fan where the ***** will hit
Too many omens have imprinted black crows feet on the creases of my eye
Ive walked under to many ladders to even think its time to climb
Black cats and red dawns break mirrored lenses and leave me vulnerable to the visions
Close friends drop like flies into puddles of spilt beer
While I sit here trying to convince my self that the end isn’t near
Steering away from sickly sweet premonitions of drowning in molasses
Glass bonds with my joints making my knees a dull ache and buckle
My backpack is heavy and this hike will never end
Coming to a clearing of ropy sinued webs tangled and twitching
The connector butterfly has venomous effects
infects everyone I touch we’ll all faint at the summit
While the diamond cutter chisels sacks of meat into new improvements
the only time I pay any attention anymore is when I know that im in trouble
otherwise I have no problem joy riding this vacuum packed bubble
have you ever been tossed into a cave full of needles?
Neither have I
Not yet at least
Everything happens for a reason and every action has its place
A puzzle piece has me trapped between a rock and a hard fact to face
When the credits start to roll itll all make sense
But by that time who’s going to care.

'tis chilling. . . the first two lines are explosive & what follows is pretty incredible as well.
I'd like to say I follow your meaning but that would be absurd & so I'll just commend you
on the feeling of awe that I have acquired from this read. well done. elle :)

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
