The Keep By *(Matthew Bowers)*~93



Journey 

Forward


Onward 

Into frozen 

Abyss


Krazee miles 

Stretch beneath

Icicle hung sky


Insanity

Calamity

Await


Not far

Up winding

Road


Decades and decades

Worth of damned

Thirsty Souls haunt

The front step

Overlooking

Infernal cliffs


Innocence to be lost

To play and dance 

In dirty martini ways


Across ballroom floors

Painted with dust

Orchestral thoughts echo

Within bleeding fractured

Minds


Brilliant hues of yesterday's

Memories come twisted

In reflections of desire and sin


A cold front landed

Setting the stage of isolation

Carnage and carnal nights


A puppet

A pawn

A mere vessel for lease


Trudging onward 

Belial whispers begin to haunt

Crack creeking steps


Mounting heavy

Heady thoughts

Conspire and pull


Consuming 

Ego

Self

Identity


Left is the husk 

Of a forlorn man


Unknowingly ready 

To stoke the fires

Of

Mephistophelean 

Pergatory


No rest among the spirits

That feed and tear upon the soul


The keeper comes

Key in hand

Unlocking Dante's Underworld

Up on the Hill
