~ A MURDER OF CROWS ~
In the dusty submission, of my life begging a remission
My soul could never find forgiveness
From the torment of a murder of crows, and I'm guilty, I suppose
Of not doing things in neat little rows...
The bullet struck her face and she fell, the crows frightened as well
Left me standing alone, in a pool of bloody hell
And as the murder flew away, into this most horrible day
She spoke her dying words, "My friend, I, am not afraid."...
For the rest of my life, those words haunted my nights
The murder of crows, became the wingspan of my mind
And this growing recognition, the insanity of my predisposition
Had enhanced my taste for blood, so I became a physician...
I danced hand in hand with death, created by this murder of crows
My heart grew as black, as liver's blood when it glows
And though I could not sleep, human organs I did eat
Which afforded me, a tortured, way to dream...
In these dreams I composed, opera's, for the tortured souls
And lives I had taken and given, to a puppeteering murder of crows
An indignity I had gained, from a dying woman's final refrain
My friend, she had gurgled, I, am not, afraid....

Crow's like sheep in silence of the lambs.
Like the light darkness you created here.
Got the feeling you have seen the crow of death fly away from the pecked.

to me this was the moment of impact. When everything changed. When the dark side took over. What I also really loved was the rhyming in this whole piece. It dances off the tongue beautifully. You narrated the reader deeply into the twisted mind of a heavily laden soul. At least that’s what I felt on reading this beautifully crafted piece. Please write more :)

There is so much to take in when reading and after, so many images festoon one's mind and deliciously dark ones at that.
So much poetically displayed to take in and dare say digest.
So well conceived and written, which captivates line by line and you state work in progress, well, I can't wait to view the finished polished article.
Full honours to you Tony and richly deserved
Hi Tony,
Very nice. One of your darker creations.
JP
Thanx JP!!....i appreciate it my friend!!.......later tater!!....smiles....T xo : )
Tis just as well she was not afraid .. I nearly sh** myself on her behalf ...
It would appear that on this occasion, no prisoners were taken ..
You can beat an egg (not a crows by the way) but you can't beat a good old murder of em .......... enjoyably dark sir .. I take it this was only semi autobiographical :)
