~Consorting With Madness~

By Zhee

Behold, the lunatic waltzes
Upon bloody crystalline floors,
To apocalyptic songs of delirium
That its desolate heart adores.

Dissolution, then ignites within,
Perfect swoon of vacuous embrace,
Amorphous specters dance around
Unveiling a flawlessly empty faceâ€¦

Resolute, the lunatic promenades
To realms of demonic seduction,
Conversing with caustic voices
That amalgamate with destructionâ€¦
.
.
.
.
.
.
such is the epitome of loneliness - that consorts with madness
just to feel saneâ€¦.

Reminds me of asylums, sitting in solitary, rocking back and forth with a mind miles away in visions and portents all steeped in blood and horror...the perils of being alone too long, madness bleeding into sanity...
