Poetry from the Heart of Darkness

ALL POETRY © SEAN MULLIGAN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 

Madness bleeds down cathedral walls
it must be Autumn because
everything is falling...

...crawling, naked on the Plutonian Shore
hand in hand with a dying whore
Take what you want! Rip it out by the root!
How it writhes like a rattlesnake!
light a fire and burn me at the stake
as maddened puppets stab their master
the drumbeat bludgeons Faster! Faster!
twisted clawing deep within I try to run
to fly! they pin me to their cross
and bleed me dry there's no time left at all
I fall as the birds are screaming out of tune
they raise me dreaming beneath the moon
my heartbeat fading vision dying
they dance about in circles crying
It will all be over soon!
It's Autumn and
everything must Fall!
