IT'S GONE

 

  

It’s gone!  The depths of loneliness paid visit in the form of your shadow; laughing ecstatically at my aloofness.  It reeked of death.  It reeked like the rotting decay of man; a decadence of prosperity.  It bled!  It flowed freely through the madness; a lonely streak.  And it suffered a blightness.  It cried!  I laughed aloud!  Spitting in the face of destruction.  Fuck it! I need not fear.  Loathsome jewels of Nile expectorate a deafening thud.  I sidestep the bullets and arrows.  I am free!  Heart ripped apart by the White Cheetah.  It claws me; nails glisten with rouge blood.  Tear stained, I still laugh aloud.  I mock the agony.  I am above the despair.  I shall wade through the thickness of night.  It can not overpower me.  I extend my middle finger for salutation; dance in open sky.  Keys to the dungeon set free the demons battled back by a Holy Spirit.  I laugh aloud trembling with delight.  What is it?  It is a sad, sad situation yet I persist.  The form of your shadow can not materialize.  I am alone.  I laugh alone without you.  I sleep alone save the dream of your figure.  I watch the dream through vaporized eyes.  I can not be this way I am told.  I am commanded that it can not be so but I savor the fantasy and cling to the dream.  I can make it to dry land.  I hope your angels carry you as well.  The night bids adieu so adios I suppose.
