Comments: An old piece I won an award with a few years ago; I'll probably mainly be posting already published work.
Metal
Do you feel it?
Soft whispers of a rhythm weave their web around the
Delicate thoughts invading a mind.
Tap your foot involuntarily to keep pace with a tempo
Unheard by those around you.
Let your senses fall prey to the predatory nagging
That is instinct.
Do not fear the level of redemption that would
Be needed in order to
Purge a soul of those sinful daydreams.
Go home and introduce your “poltergeist”
To the realm of “Hell” and exorcisms.
Drop a mental wish or two;
Ignore a prophetic nightmare.
Cling to the fallacies that provide an
Illusionary veil of protection.
Why not just
Crawl away and hide.
Wait for the walls to deteriorate.
For the people to change their tune.
All the while,
Feeling the beat pulsating in your
Blood.
