The Player In The Play

Thoughts In My Everflowing Stream Of Consciousness…..

The Player In The Play belongs to the following groups:

1 In The Beginning - Ancient Practices, All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical, End Times, Practising the Dark Arts and WMG

In a corner he waits,
Mouldering amidst the strangers,
In a wanderers land where
Bones could never rest.
Quiet, hidden, home once
Beckoned, a headstone,
Mired in the bog, handsome
And stately, like the terrible
Flame that burnt in the mind.
Eyeholes, mouthhole, ears that
Cannot hear the rattling of
Moments, quiet shades and
Shadows moving restlessly
In the darkness. What do you
Want of us? The words slide off
Of fleshless grins, empty muck,
Cavernous thoughts. The shaking
Begins, an endless awakening.
Like a nightmare one cannot be
Roused from. Abandoned glory,
A whores remembrance, a vanity
That casts a jaded glance on yesterday.
Fool, did you think it would be that
Easy to be the player in the play?
Daylight creeps into the corner,
Where he will always wait.
