Prayer Of The Unforgiven

I've been alone for so long can your love do me any harm? I know you don't really mean it and your heart and soul aren't in it but after so long alone-I'll take anything I can get-wretched fool that I am I hope you understand my situation. I'm still waiting at the station reciting the prayer of the UNFORGIVEN. Our tongues are long and hard. Can your love do me any harm? I'm just a Honky Tonk Man do you understand? Whiskey and women dressed in linen no underwear to cover their hair. Carry me away into a world of dreams and fields of play to run and flush upon my face sweet nectar's grace. Hooray! Angels surround my bed and urge me to drink the wine of insanity. The prisons are full of those with no love given - the ignorant - the wretched faces staring from their cells ...Is Momma coming to get her baby boy? Our insanity means profanity to empty ears and blank faces for the disgraced factions without traction to bind them to the world. We belong to the underlings. The love you can give me may mean just a little to you but it's everything to me. Please keep me going..I feel I'm drowning in an ocean of dung filling my nostrils with lips sucking my mind and Angels dancing around in my brain...Everything seems so strange. This is so incoherent but so apparent to those that breed in the night moonlight cells madness howling inside their souls...Where the hell is the train? Will I be here forever? Wherever I am? Save a little love for the unforgiven. Never to awake from these nightly floods of semen uncertain emotions grinding my soul into the ashes wrapping arms and legs around my chest .. rubbing honey on my breast? Where is the tree of life? Where can it be tonight? Is it the source of my desire? Just let me see it once before I'm left alone in this quagmire of the dammed. Vinegar for my lips and my crown of thorns. Can Jesus save the UNFORGIVEN? Can he raise them from the DEAD? © William M.
