Damn Reality

No,
I cannot realise my dreams
simply by setting my mind to it.
Not my true dreams.
Not actually.
There is no degree that I know of,
no course I can take,
that will allow me to graduate
telekinetic
wanton majestic
and immortal
Ravenwinged and ruby-eyed
Honeylipped as Loki's bride
With moonlit satyrs glorified
Come, come, my pretty - step inside...

..to crimson taste and dragondust
In decadence and snakebite rhyme
In underworlds I sink within
Leviathan unchained sublime -
Kick back in cognac disarray
and vintage velvet infamy
Apocalyptic elegance
and nicotine soliloquy,
Verdant and vicious, carnal snarl,
with pyromantic boudoir purr
Sweethearts wild and satin-lined
and beautiful as Lucifer,
Fall splendid, fall magnificent
Sing ancient ochre baritone
in rip-torn leather harmonies
(this world is mine: these loves my own)
Bring warlock heart and candlefire
Words of iridescent nights
Haphazard dance for ecstasy
Kaleidoscopic musk delight,
Come lunartricks and liquid kiss
Dripping pagan phantom style...

Keep your damn reality.
I think that I'll live here a while.

  The dividing lines which demarcate Truth and lies, love and hate North and south, east and west Have always been tenuous at best So I do like my fantasy Fantasy I do adore Who's to say this is not reality A new reality, I'll like much more
