I am monster (spoken word)

Embedded image from another site



I am monster
the Osiris of lost souls
lurking in the moonlit shadows
I am Frankenstein unbound
among hungry crows and grackles
I creep over the scared ground
of good and evil...

Where lies my monster bride?
I am kneeling and wailing
for her to complete and release me
from these shackles and chains
of this hellish Gothic pain and sorrow
to offer me absolution
from the atrocities of the flesh I have committed...

I am the fiendish brute
who grows fangs and hair
when the almanac forecasts a full moon
and the sky is crying meteor showers
among random bolts of lightning
I howl and shriek in terror
I am mortal seeking to become immortal
gazing in the mirror I behold a monster...

Much like Frankenstein
If I can't be beautiful I wish to be invisible
I can only be saved
by the love of a beautiful woman
I burn to be inside of her
to find her by a sun baked moonstone
to save me from this cursed life
that I have lived from alpha to omega...

I am Adam reanimated seeking Eve
fleeing inescapable horror as if it were life itself
longing to avoid being impaled by the wooden stake of loneliness
I fear I am becoming a fallen angel
living in the night of the dark soul
my pendulum swings towards you my cherubim lover
for I have love in me like none has ever seen...

My love remember this
when I find you and see you
I will come after you like a hurricane
and even though I am among the undead
I will not stop loving you
until at last the earth quakes
and mountains rise from the sea
shaking the very ground you walk on..

Hi Ken, I like the new style. Life in the dark world that looks on, craving the light, craving the Love. Everytime I look in the mirror I see the monster that is myself, for I can see the monster within, only in look, so no smart remarks. It is a strange thing about us humans Ken, sometimes that which we seek is right in front of our face. One day you shall walk forth into the light and all shall be as you wish it. I do like this style my friend. Welcome to the dark side of life, only kidding Ken. Have a good day. Catch you later. Your Friend always....MIKE.

Thanks Robert..I graduated from the U of North Florida back in 1989..I do miss it so..You are correct in that No Exit is a superb work by Sartre..Garcin deciding to stay in "hell" is a profound one..The so called "hell is other people" conclusion..Despite his religious doctrines Sartre was truly brilliant..

Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend..I enjoyed..

and even though I am among the undead
I will not stop loving you
until at last the earth quakes
and mountains rise from the sea

Very intense Ken, and different indeed yet in the end the loop still lies on your very feeling of love lost in the sea of sorrows...
