Tears of a Sinner

Tears of a Sinner a collaborative poem by Lelo-Heinzs-Ravyn-JeffWilliams Blood flows all around My unborn daughter runs in a blood stained flower dress, My dead brothers smoke from my sisters skull. I hear the laughter of my decapitated father. I hold my mother's arms in mine, unable to put them back where they belong. This nightmare keeps coming back to haunt my sleep... my flock of skinned and headless sheep. Terror knows no bounds... where reality and delusion separate. The smoke pours from the sockets As the grinning carcasses caper round my father's head, cabled, hanging from the derrick Looking down at the stumps where my legs once were Maggots crawl in and out of my knees Heroin and alcohol - which one of us was first to fall from grace into the pit? When once we lovingly kissed good night now we only hiss and spit. Our graves await us - dark and deep And those who watch our funeral will know we died within our sleep. 2/4/2002This is a collaboration started by Lelo and added to by heinzs, The Ravyn, and JeffWilliams. Written February 4th, 2002 © on Feb 04 2002 07:43 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
