Poetry from the Heart of Darkness

ALL POETRY © SEAN MULLIGAN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 

her kiss is like quicksilver
a gently whispering wind
her kiss is absolution
from a life so full of sin

it seems that I've lost everything
on which I'd come to depend
the Balance hangs above me
It's tilting toward the end

bleed bleed the crimson tide
I watch with calm finality
wash away the filth inside
bleed me dry and set me free

her kiss is quite a paradox
a sting of ecstasy
all my life a world of locks
and she the only key

her caress is like a last escape
the soothing touch of lover's hand
a rescue from this spirit-rape
a silver key to the Promised Land

bleed bleed the crimson tide
I collapse and lay here silently
wash away the filth inside
bleed me dry and set me free

this kiss her kiss the last goodbye
the light now fading from my eyes
and all is peaceful once again
like a child in the womb
but I know this is the end my friend
I know this is my tomb
