Morbid Morning Tale

Reindeer song and a mug of ale

Bred monsters in my wake

In a sea of trust dispersed

In the morning morbid and pale.

 

Frosty froth frozen in frost

Mist unveiled a veil it formed

Over judgement swift it prevailed

Into the pallid noon and lost.

 

Genie’s words and a dream unfurled

To a progeny from deluded fools

Masked in a cold embrace

Daylight upon a sour soil lay curdled.

 

Retribution of our ancestors’ follies

Echoing wails in our caves

Languid lives over skins dreamless

Upon a threnody scripted on poppies.

 

Dancing flakes, an opera primordial

Hymn sung in sombre tones

Blowing trumpets from an otherworld

Caravan moon and aurora cordial.

 

Trench song among men bold

Through marrows of blood and bone

Mother, child and father in despair

Cries of vengeance I withhold.

 

And a forest sheaths our grievance

Amidst waves of rustling acceptance

And the rain pours upon its foes

Like ragged beggars in throes

Farmers’ sickles outgrown their use

Flash of light, sharp abuse

And the flakes fell to ground

Like frozen tears of widows abound

And in the morning morbid and pale

Empty mug of ale, demise of a tale.

  1. This is actually awesome. Just last night I ranted about how people make WordPress thinking they’re actual writers, but this is one of the posts which is so genuine, you’d like to set THIS as an example to those wannabes and see their worlds burn. (IF they’re literate enough to figure this out. Trust me, they might not be.)

    Enough about them though. This is one refreshingly awesome post I’ve read in ages. I love dark poetry, but there’s very few people who do it right. And you’re one of those few people. Keep up the good work. Your influences show really well. You’ve earned a regular reader here.
