Chimera

by TAinted vįŕťues   Oct 28, 2004


My constant endeavor towards perfection leaves me numb. The various hues of reality mix together to form a monstrous beast. Its sickly hue threatens to devour everything. It lies in front of me like some pulsating grossly malformed and nonviable fetus. It imbues me like some diabolic chimera threatening to obliterate my reality, my dreams, my goals,and even me . I feel it's ailing existence inside of me cauterizing me as it flows through my impure veins. It touches my soul and bleeds me it’s sickly hue. Contagious.

An empty entity lies on my shoulder. My love. She clings on to me knowing I have to go. I am infected. Our lips touch in the broken imitation of a kiss. My lips stained with Blood and defeat her lips sodden with the promise of a better tomorrow. I slip out of these blood stained blankets that cant give warmth anymore.

The suburban houses seem to glower at me taunting me for my bluff. I look up in the sky as the primitive color of salvation greets me...the dark clouds
Gather in the sky to witness my demise. Like enthralled fiends bound to fate they
taunt me. The wounded moon battles the darkness bravely. Stagnant warriors waiting for
It to end.

Darkness overcomes as the pregnant clouds gather overhead. As each caustic drop of
Salvation falls on me the chimera within cries out with orgasmic suffering.
I fall to my knees, a bloody diabolic chimera.

    wow......absolutly amazing. there are no words to describe how amsolutly talented this poem is. your choice of words and symbolism was impecible, and i absolutly love how you tied in words that were full of meaning and power. i have nothing but praise for this poem, it left me truly breathless. i also loved how you used the monster 'chimera' as your main effect. that was a powerful source of symbolism and imagery.
    absolutly amazing, breathtaking. i look forward to reading more of you.

    Thanx Everyone

  • Now i am getting used to this. So everybody knew that you are genius.. and i was a late realiser! Never mind.. Atleast i read your works now. Have you ever tried writting a book? You have a good vocab, and your imaginations are great. I like your style eventhough they are Prose. I am a kind of person who usually ignore prose or prose poems. But you made me stick to my seat and read your prose. If you have a greater theme, i am sure you will be a great writer. (May be many have told you this before itself..). I am happy that i read your work.
    Trincy.
