Searing Blue

A penny
A peep
Into bedlam
A lifetime
A mind
In hell

She looks at me
Like I'm love
She looks at me
Through piano keys
Her grey matter
On reverb
Until the echoes
Turn to screams

I lick the pavement
It goes to my head
I lick to taste
Those lovelorn keys

What time is the asylum open?
My baby blue
She still burns bright
So away, away
I'll steal her
I'll steal her away
Tonight

We're both
A fucking nightmare
Our fingertips
Won't let go
Yet our eyes
Are lit like sanctuaries
And our hearts
And our minds
Though torn
Sear with heat
Aglow

powerful stuff my friend...less is truly more. Too many words subtract from the meaning, a true poet adds to the meaning with LESS...like you did here. :)Snake

this put my brain through the spin cycle...made me think of Dylan Thomas' "Love In The Asylum" but this was much better.

Super duper killer. Is this something that you've rethought? I know i've read one of yours with some of these lines before, but this is something altogether, even more striking. I really loved the opening lines. Felt like getting drunk and trying to walk a straight line. Awesome.

Pure poetic devastation. ...and the cackling wouldn't echo from those forlorn padded walls...
