Dreamscape frozen
Dragged into daylight
Image that should have
dissipated
Vapours burned off
With heat of
flickering eye
Lies like a corpse
wrapped in ice
Behind my eyes
Cadaver lead belted
That dangles out of
reach
As I surface punch
drunk from sleep
Ice queen unshrouded
Did the cold light of
moon
Disturb your sleep?
Did the orb of the
queen of the night
Raise your howling
fury
Your vengeance
insatiable
In life
You rose in skeletal
finery
And strode the
borderlands
To persecute my sleep
You hide your agate
fury
Behind Madonna eyes
Eyes disguised in long
suffering piety
A trap to lure me
close enough
To feel the bite of your
ferocity
The iciness of your
poison
Freezing life’s
arteries
Petrifying heart
I know your tricks
The tools of your
trade
Dreaming I do
What I could not do
I tell you what I
thought of you
Still with simpering
saintliness
You try to lure me
into silence
With eyes of down cast
piousness
You garrote and
castrate me
Vicious queen of
godliness
But what you did in
life
I will not do to
myself
Ice queen
You lie in marbled
splendour
On throne of worms and
grit
Content I, having
drunk your cup
And felt your fanged
kiss
Will continue to
castrate myself
Yet petrified heart
has cracked
And frozen arteries
thawed
I will not do down
Into your cold embrace
My rage will keep me
warm
Eyes of fiery orbs
Will greet your pious
eyes
No eunuch to your
iciness
Your winter years have
past
Now is the time of day
Retreat back to
memories
Cold sanctuary
Take my truth
Back through the
borderlands
Wow, really great and strong poem! Dramatic and saying so much.
