Doom

Talks of love and goals on dead city blocks,

Raised two streets down from poverty’s ill grip,

Pastel epochs, simple living kills clocks,

Extinct existence exhausts, soon they’ll slip

Down to static drudge, cheap pay, falling stocks,

Political warfare,rushing starships,

Out of my hands this world plummets quickly

Vows of a better life, this hell sickly.

Passion waves and nothing else, out they go

Rejecting truth, once in mind stars turn blue,

Coffee less potent, days longer, just know

I am not your tormentor, silver hue

Burns through daylight, metallic Romeo

Shouts from above, killer glare she drew,

Mademoiselle tell me your name, off she went

Through masking smoke, nothing left but her scent.

Youth, nothing more than casualties today

Grey atmosphere disunites, gargoyle

Eyes scrutinize anxious fools gone astray,

Religious Doom, consume to sleep, life’s soil

Pure self loathing and a dash of dismay,

Flickering Noir City, tales of my turmoil,

Call it nightly ruin, my life’s blood gone cold,

Winds roar, snub nose melts sleet, lost dreams, tale told.
