Shards of the Phoenix
By Swooping Synod
the trampled on cripples
of the world distrust
the two faced
piranahs absorbed
in a cloak of egregious folly
stand up and be broken
sit down and be digested
by the acid of your mind
slipping into memories that
pull me down into shards of
holy smiles as suffocation is
gripping my esophogus with
immense enormous strength
rise into piles and drop off
dive into pain and sink further
by ways of etching me in your mind
one day the phoenix won't rise
from the ashes of perpetuating defeat
the twisted cocoon releases a stillborn
butterfly with rotting wings into hell
someone is sticking pins in the ass of my voodoo doll
punctured and bloodsoaked
with abrasions and lacerations
someone is out to get me
lurking in the shadows of dim-lit
corridors inside vaults
having no combination
to break
as i lay in wasted fragments
skeleton keys don't open dead bolts
a looping scream resonates through my being
shattering the remnants of sunday brunch
pompous was my of life.
the blood is getting me hot
boiling over this cauldron and evaporating from my heart

This is amazing. I want it printed on fancy paper and stuck on the ceiling above my bed. Truly fantastic.
