back to the disaster

2008 (Blood type B: Installment One)

I am pushed down to face reality

there is no one coming to save me

all of our dreams were lies

your ashes fill the air

dressing myself in sackcloth 

preparing for an age of mourning 

the allotment for this time is over

surrounded by my new alliance with the fallen 

drinking the mortal souls of our enemies

we're burnt out for all the right reasons

given immortality to waste in long seasons

treason is all around, angels are falling down

back to the pills

and the blood

back to the disaster 

life on the grind

it's getting faster

Author's Note

This is actually one of my first bloodlust poems. Written in 2008. It's a little different but it was the beginning of the series so I decided to put it in the book as installment one. Thanks everyone for reading..xx

Oh, that picture is so terrible. It makes me shudder. :) I disagree with Kittie on the lack of emotion. I think it fits the poem. It's bleak, narrated by someone who has given up. It casts a black cloud over the reader as it is read. I really liked the blunt, resigned tone. The only thing that struck me as strange was that the ending stanza rhymed, while the rest of the poem was very free. I mean, the rhymes worked really well, but I wasn't expecting the change. This could apply to any time and many situations, yet it's easy to see how it works with what's happening in today's world. It made me stop and think.

I haven't read any of the others that I know of.. but this one is very good..

It reminds me a little bit of Poe- but more modern of course.
I think what I like most about this is the fact that, emotionally, it starts out very desolate and then steadily grows stronger, until you feel like you can pick yourself up. It makes "going through the motions" sound like an inspirational endeavor.

I honestly enjoyed this poem and it rendered me speechless. I'm not sure how to describe it in words because it was perfection all around. Even the last stanza, throwing in a rhyme. Slightly bitter but beautiful at the same time.

Although this is the beginning of a series that you started for a book, if you were to read it again.... It speaks of times now, emotions stirred, global... A very insightful piece, at least in the point I am in life, this piece speaks volumes of truth.
Fabulous piece.
