Thread of existence

Thread of existence

We are upon the thread of existence

By this thread we dangle 

Breathing only just

As the moisture from our breath

Slowly decreases, 

Laying upon our backs

Looking upwards towards the blue sky

Looking for heaven

For signs of hope

Waiting; 

Yet the snake is drawing closer

Spitting danger, 

O Lord we are dying

By this very thread

Until no breath no more

~~~

Upon this bed of pain we fight

We fight and we fight

And we fight

Until there is completely 

No breath

Laying there in this tomb

This cave of bats 

Attacking and unforgiving

They are coming for us 

In their Trojan horses

Secretly and undeniably 

They are coming 

With their swords and their axes

Inevitably 

They are coming

Hide

~~~~~

They are here

Be quiet now

Lay silent beneath this bed

I can hear their boots

Their stomps and 

RAGE 

They are looking

We are not breathing now

We are not even in here now

Quiet; becoming angrier

They are becoming angrier

Soon they will leave

And if they do not find us

We shall be 

By this thread their own 

Ghost

~~~~~

Threads of existence

Truth on earth unto death 

For the evil that breathes

My Dear Poetic Brother, Jai,

The serpent is upon us, but the charmers of the snakes are being sent from the Heavens to lull them into a false  sense of security.  As the stealthy mongooses sneak up and snap their necks, rest assured these vampires will never taste fully of our blood, and will perish with starvation.  We will be ready this time for the "Greeks Bearing Gifts", and as they climb confidently down, we will slay them with every first step.  So, all ye, all ye, in come free, for the Lord sends his executioners, to save humanity and turn these "Threads of Existence" into "Spools of Serenity".

Peace and Love,

xox Larry

good question, my brother....personally I write poetry to allow my pen to ejaculate words on paper, lol (to quote a phrase from my friend) okay the real reason is because I'm a Narcissistic delusional dumb ass who is convinced that nobody in this whole freaking world can come up with, and speak the things I speak of, as good as I can speak them.  ....now there, that is the 'real' reason I write poetry, what about you, brother Jai? I'll check on your answer tomorrow, have great evening
