I was sitting in the balcony, gazing at the horizon with a cigarette in hand.... |
Restless, relentless, irrefutable ; The hole in my gut today is bigger than ever. I'm a dead man walking, inhaling the means to my end, enjoying it while it lasts. There is a yellow tint on my fingers ; Though faded, it has a smoky stench on it, makes me snort as i light another stick. The candle on the window sill burns low, the wax damaging the very feet it stands on ; the soot , it destroys everything above it. A tiny dribble of sweat, forms, combines, and trickles down from the forehead, making me wince as it runs over the laceration on my cheek. There is a salty taste on my tongue ; Whether it's the guilt or the blood - i know it not. It gives me a perverted enjoyment nonetheless. I see your tear falling all around me, making me shiver, shrink , surrender... I close my eyes in a guilt filled disgust, and there I see it-the darkness all around pulling me in its embrace ; the dark stallion. There's an appeal to it, a dark seduction of the hereafter. Whatever it is, I know it not. The candle is burnt. The tint has faded. My mouth is arid. I'm drowning.... Being pulled by the stallion. So as to where, i know it not. -- ssingh. ©winchester |
