The Silent Chord Of Death... Poem by RK

I'll dim the lights this hazy night
And gaze into dark flashes,
For dreams have taken somber plight
With their nighmarish clashes;
The splashy mirror stuck my sight
With blink upon eyelashes,
I'll dim the lights this hazy night
And puff the dark to ashes...

The silence of this gloomy room
Murmurs with loneliness,
The vista of my fortune's doom
Hovers this wretched place;
My hands are now ready to fume
With six string's steel caress -
The silence of this gloomy room
Is painted on my face...

A tune is hanging in my wrist
With morbid touch on frets,
My fingers have the spikes to twist
And strings will soon translate
To fatal notes of senseless sheets
From blundered love and hate;
A tune is hanging in my wrist
To blow their shuddered fate...

This song is playing in my skull
When time's in halt, adjourning,
My shadows join my funeral
With pointed fingers, scorning;
Their echoes pitching up through wall
With eerie squalls of warning,
This song is playing in my skull
Fading with night in mourning...

With chorus, faceless phantoms rise,
The dancing ghosts, amidst,
I place one foot in paradise
The other in abyss;
Some angels chant their lullabies
When other sounds have ceased;
With chorus, faceless phantoms rise
While witches hum in bliss...

The six string strike of broken chords
With slide from low to high,
The symphony of crashing world
I'll strum and amplify
And let this brutal sound be soared
With burial of strife;
The six string strike of broken chords
The lethal thump of life...

I'll thump till memories refrain
And heart has lost control
Till rhythms slowly sway and wane
And frets have lost my hold
Till meshing with the dusty plane
Where mysteries unfold -
I'll thump till memories refrain
With final shriek of soul...
