SERVING JUSTICE






You acted like you could be a grand duke

Or next in line to be our new sovereign king

I was just a number in your little black book

A puppet you kept on a short gilded string



A god you were, seated regally on your throne

Evaluating all the girls in your secret harem

Scrutinizing the chattel you could call your own

If other men would agree just to share them






How many women have surrendered to you?

Enraptured between your black satin sheets

Gladly relinquishing their chaste virtue

As the wolf eagerly devoured the sheep



You repulse me even more than myself

Obscene in your shameless arrogance

I will not be used and put away on a shelf

With nary an acknowledging glance





This cock has called out its final crow

Hanged from your own gilded twine

I have become your most formidable foe

And I'm afraid this moment is mine



Always fed from a spoon made of silver

must've been shocked then to eat off the floor

Ha, I had carved out and served you your liver

Did I hear you begging me for more?


Perhaps those sheets did serve me well

After I'd placed all your pieces on the bed

Your own passions had delivered your hell

Upon black satin sheets splattered with red



There really isn't anything like having your way

And walking away with your fifteen seconds of glory

I became of part of history on that fateful day

And the author of my own bedtime story

IN THE CHASM

Image
In the chasms of doctrine and superstition, Standing at the brink of our delusions, Buried ‘neath the weight of my own contrition, Waiting for judgment’s final conclusions, Waiting for the moment of condemnation, Waiting for all the charges to be read. Sentenced to life’s eternal damnation, These decaying corpses of our undead. We who walk through the alluvial wasteland, Charged to witness our own perversions; Obscenities feeding upon the damned, Bound by the threads of our own aversions. M Teresa Clayton

THEY OWE US NOTHING

Image
They owe us nothing, we watched, and we saw everything. We understand the pain all our choices still bring. Suffering still, the mental battles once lost. Buying a life worth living -  such a high cost. We were jacks of all trades, yet masters of none, Toy soldiers unaware a war had begun. Confused, we never knew which side to take. Damn the night and the choices we would make. Sins never mattered, no judgment to face, Strange atonements, stains easy to erase. The memories remain to remind us - Histories remain, they will not blind us. We are always here watching and waiting, Perverse obsessions, anticipating. Calling out for help in your mortal realm; Let go of the choices, we’ll take the helm. No need to prove yourself, no battles here, Walk away before choices reappear. Never return, nothing here that you need; Life cuts you in pieces to watch you bleed. Bind your wounds, bind each thought, action and word. Choice is a les...

My Blue Velvet - Breathing You In - Saying the Words

Image
Inspired write from another syneasthete - February is Syneasthesia Month (for my birthday) I will be interviewed and sharing the spotlight with Joseph Zeppardo and Shannon Lyons (if all goes well) - I'll announce it here. Sitting here listening to a cacophony of melodies telling me what my story is. ALONE, the color one sees when they close their eyes with a faint fever developing beneath long feathery lashes - Lips a shade of coral blush that tastes like sweet honey fresh from the hive. OMG yes, I'm a words person - Certain words especially have such a luxurious and beautiful velvet color - Metaphor is a midnight blue and I want to reach out and touch it. Lucidity is a word that changes color as you move it with the light. When someone calls me "Your Grace" I feel it in my bones and it feels soft, like kiss - just close enough that I can feel his breath against my cheek as he withdraws and offers his hand to cup my face, I become weak and ...
