Silent Repose

A star spaced king eating fish in the moonlight
eats away, eats away
sounding like slight slobbery mouthing
eating gnawing chewing
most unpleasant to the ear
delightful to the taste
gibbering mad incoherent slobbering
dog tax fine cats
elbows down to the knees
a connection severed
dangling by a thread
finally cut free
from the weight of gravity
single lonely strand
cut through sharply
echoing in thy heart
gently stabbing
piercing through
slicing viciously
until it is no more.
A vast ocean of unfulfilled promises
a sea of torment
treading water
endlessly
until a boar appears
or another soul i cling toto keep from sinking
deep into the abysmal recesses of the mind
abhorrent gaffing
tape the screams
of ghastly hollows
indulge me with your story
I must learn to love you
in the way you most need it
so I can get my fix
of love returned.
