Quatrain Contest DarkPhoenix 3 by `darkphoenix:icondarkphoenix:





they all think me crazy mindless insane
my thoughts pink and hazy heedless of pain
the drool on my chin and the stupor i feign
but i know what i did and i'd do it again

This particular quatrain -- well, I had various Nick Cave songs running through my mind, most notably The Mercy Seat, and this was born from that...

Edit, Apr 2004, Preview:
There are five poems in this series:

I am currently working through my gallery and providing a proper preview image for those deviations that didn't originally have one. I apologise to all those watching me if this causes these old poems to be flagged as "new". The image in this thumbnail is from Jomina-Stock 45, by ~Jomina-Stock.

Funny, I think of a different Nick Cave song, the Curse of Milhaven.

"They asked me if I feel remorse
And I answered 'Why of course...'
There's so much more I could have done if they'd let me..."

Great choice in music, and good work!

Okay babs, ya got me! :-) (Smile) For a while I was actually trying to fit something along the lines of "It isn't home, but it's better than jail" into the last line -- but I just couldn't make it work like that, so I changed the whole aim of it...

:iconyagathai:
Babs made me listen to that song just a little while ago (Curse of Milhaven). How disturbingly coincidental...

oh, very good few lines ... tho funnily it almost reminds me more in johnny cash's cover version of that song :D (Big Grin)
:iconfatelessmirror:

It reminds me of some of The Avalanches' lyrics, juice on your genitals ...maybe it is just me...
