30 years in a Hole

Dance along the razor's edge
of sanity and self destruction,
twisting on the demon's tail
just to hear him wail.

How often can you slip without falling,
and how far can you fall without calling?
Can you sprout wings when the clouds go past?
Can you slow time and readjust your mind?

When the flame licks around your face,
will you turn about or pick up the pace?
When chaos rules and no one reigns,
will you make a stand and face each day?

Did the taste of metal still your fears?
Do the swells of your hells linger near?
And do you still have my back,
even though I took a different path?

You danced along the razor's edge
of sanity and self destruction,
twisting on that demon's tail
just to hear the demon wail,
just to hear us wail.

It's murky in here.

Twisting on the demon's tail
Just to hear the demon wail,
Just to hear us wail.

A means of release.
A very dark write,
but still astonishing.
Great job.
^_^

OMG OMG OMG

OMG OMG OMG
I can’t tell you how much I LOVED this, I must say it brought tears to my eyes.

How did you slip into my mind without me knowing
to gaze at the graffiti that I carefully hid behind grey matter.
Am I so transparent, a book with geriatric print?
NO…I think gypsy with a crystal ball in the shape of my noggin.

You wrote about me my dear Beavis.

This sounds like something

This sounds like something that happened to a friend of mine only he didn't make it."( Went off the rails. but anyone who knew them from young sorta knew it would happen. This is really good I like the imagery of dancing on the razor's edge! A very deep poem. Thanks.

I'm sorry for your loss, and

I'm sorry for your loss, and I understand. Amazing how blind we can be and how much we choose not to see.

I always appreciate all of

I always appreciate all of your thoughts ;-) Yeah, this one still sucks a bit, but it's a personal poem I needed to write, not one of my Distance poems. I may work on it at some point and try and get the edges off and bring it into the fold.

it's so sad in a desperate

it's so sad in a desperate over way I am not sure how I feel about you writing like that, it means at some level you can relate to the feelings for one, and also it means someone is that low that you are needing to write about it, which just over-thinks me into a Beavis are you ok? worry storm.

funny how none of the sad woe is me sex and love and loneliness poems worry me eh lol
