erase & rewind (.point.blank.)

By Cassandra

blindfolded necromantic lovers with a sadistic twist on the cap
encircled with a meteor shower of hopes shattered by collapsed rooftops
and chandeliers stripped of stained glass to cry lavender
metamorphasis aided by strips of white and platinum
dolls don't bleed in this realm anymore

faux banshees and monochrome faeries truly contradict one another
questioning one's existance in a lair streaked a dominant greyscale
words screamed in black and white, ink on ink; a sense of strength
decaying a beaten interior read only by destiny and dethroned Gods
and still we crouch beneath analogies and metaphors
constructing the flawless mask and becoming bluntly incognito
we all show our true colors sometime - always death

vacuumed into a reverse reality where lies glide on silver lining
ive recognized the simplicity of our modern standards
and how low we have stooped during the centuries
black and white, black and white - it's one or the other
keep value untidy and locked away on a pedestal laiden with velvet cloth
polished a professional burgundy and pinpointed navy
gaze right through a translucent dystopia
shrouding doubt with a veil of frost dead to the ear
[what a change]

comprehension through smashed vials of stomach acid and apocalypsed irises
its a stained mosaic - glaze yourself white all over again and mouth hollow phrases
that once held such authority over my mind [but im not a drone anymore]
nod your head just a few more times, keep going
succumb to the mental miasma that you have poisoned yourself with
keep digging yourself deeper.

[inhale]
the past has been buried with exposure chained to a concrete angel
armed only with eyelash kisses and lipstick blinks (a love so empty)

[exhale]

memory.point.blank
erase-rewind
and we forget.

    The true colour as death - belissimo - your poetry appears to each link in small ways which is intriguing in itself, not to mention the talent you possess

    Almost 14? Holy crap. You have astonishing talent. Outstanding write! The pace and language are excellent, the imagery too. The conclusion works especially well rhythmically, also. Just damn fine.
