IN THIS HOTEL FOR THE INSANE
Wedding's Dark Decay
The disillusionment that caved in my confidence
Came in waves like troops counting cadence
The fact that my love had gone this way
With my best friend in the night, gone far astray
And left me on the marbled floor of my loneliness
And the beginning of my heart's dark decay...
Within this unwelcomed, morose, drudgery
I tried to cry and found the effort much too great
So I lay upon the bottom of this pool of blood
On this, my wedding day
And mumbled a sordid goodbye
Filled with a feverish hate...
Now, In this Hotel For The Insane
I stare out the window into oblivion's Pearly Gates
And I cannot think or dare create
For this spell has marooned my life
Into and onto a constant gray
With a medication to help control these unholy days
Of constantly aching misery
And so I pray,
"May the truth always remain
Filled, with perfect hate..."
Tony Taylor

Hey Thanx for this GREG!!....... and I DO look forward to your poem on the Haunted Hospital!!...... Always a pleasure to hear fronm you my friend!!...... smiles........T xo. : )
Sir Tony..
i can relate to the one smiling in my face and patting me in the back
marring my Ex. I cannot begin to put in words my thoughts..
But let's just say rage, hate, bitterness, a feeling of betrayal, and Yes feeling like a fool
are a few of the emotions that occupied my mind for years.. But God has transformed me and brought me out of my cocoon..
Just venting.. this is a good read my friend..
YAY!!.... so glad you could find some inspiration to be able to vent alongside this write.......thanx so much for sharing and for the kind words dear poet brother!!.......LOTS of love to you and yours!!.......T xo. : )
Wow! I am always a little scared as All Hallows approaches and have to ‘gird my loins’ so to speak, to read much of the imaginative works being written...this is just great Tony! and as always never disappoints..the momentum builds up beautifully as does the sense of anger and pain..a great write my friend.

" HOSTELS......ARE WORSE. " Believe me. See the film evidence. It, makes the lunatic " sanctuary ", or asylum, look positively " hum drum " !! :) Do you concur ? If, you have been, there.
Never mind. You, seem to be progressing nicely in your appreciation of life's more " quirky " elements, plus, delivering your usually unique interpretations, through wordy convolutions ( if appropriate ) !! :) Conspicuous pervading reactionary expressions, note you are about. You, do offer " DIFFERENT "....do you not ? :)
Take some " advice " !! DO NOT GIVE UP, ON A GOOD THING. They help, you know. Why, wouldn't they ? Considering, the harmful aspects of life's enduring " appeal " !! :) And, the will to escape " pain " ! You understand ? TAKE CARE.
