MARIONETTE

Gossamer slivers shiver 'cross the dark
Prancing about in graceful arcs
Wooden limbs join the dance
In contrast, a disjointed mass

​

Broken figure, breaking strings
Shards of light ever sting
In harmony agony sings
To the sorrow that grew wings

​

That it did haunt me, taunt me
Puppet's face a'crumbling
Florescent spotlights blinding
To watch me unravelling!

​

So the blackness hums, hmm?
To the silent beat of drums, true.
To whispers that were crushed, hush...
The true music's hardly begun!

​

The crash and bang of chaotic symphony
Cracking glass and whirling insanity
The noise so loud so filled with screaming
Melodies fragment in disassembly!

​

How incredible it is
To think, how people live
In this false certainty
The air so stifling

​

With the world on the brink
Masks like armour clink
Where the crime is to think
To speak.
