Obsidian Soul

By The Necromancer

Venomous bile and dark ichor. Brewed from twisted and misshapen organs, percolating up through coarse pores to be spewed forth as hate, anger and despair. A black dog’s breakfast of mushy, messy mood. Irrational and unreasonable blackness — a burdensome weight heaved through foggy minefields of memory, pitted by blastholes of regret. The Maxim of reality unleashed, throwing a fine mist of lead/gold through thick air. Trying to dodge the bullets – disoriented, drained and flushed with frustration.

But, alas, finding the fetid field face first, drowning in malevolent miasmas, guts strewn out over the ominous skeletal branches of a nearby tree. An oak — charred and blackened, revealing a hard heart and obsidian soul…

    Have I ever told you how great prozac is? Really.

    Weird, I wrote almost this exact same ‘poem’ when I was ‘moody’ and in my early 20’s.

    How embarrassing…

    How So? Not Embarrassing…Synchronous, maybe.

    No doubt.
