Ode to Guilt

ODE TO GUILT

Your melancholy song in my head
And on my soul, Of things
once said and truth untold;
Mournful tunes upon my breast
Haunt my waking day and nightly rest.

Since my youth, you’ve suckled me
Held me close, vampirically;
My dark sun!  Old friend of none!
Mother of my sorrow–
You nurture the dusk of tomorrow.

Oh Guilt! Dark pleasure!
Black candle in the joy of life;
Your dark light runs thru my veins.
Dear friend, only you remain;
On the coldest days, the warmth you feign.

How close you hold my secret pain!

Constant are you who stay with me
And hold those bonds
That keep me from free;
Heavy shadow on my steps,
In your darkness, I reflect.

Longtime friend, your roots run deep
In your branches my secrets keep
In your leaves, my sorrow flows
In your bark my darkness grows
Trapped inside you, is my soul.

For Madmen Only!

Solitary Man!  Where is your pride?
Lost between two worlds, No one can find.

Inspired Wolf of the Steppes, Caged and tied;
Clawing your way out, to the other side.

Duality of Nature, Succulent and divine,
On two legs- with four inside.

Lonesome and wretched, No where to hide
Human Nature’s…. horrified

Between the sun and the stars You reside;
In constant conflict with your other mind

Miserable being! Pay heed to this Sign;
Red blinking warmth- Calling you inside

For Madmen Only– Only We should apply,
Join us and run, and Peace you should find.

Dark night’s bright light calls us, we bay and obey
Between the two worlds, solitarily stay.

Throw off your blessings, and rip off your claws
That’s how you find us, Madmen All!
