Painting My Horror

It was a dark night, I couldn't see

And senses were unbound in ESP

When in dream awake,

I'd paint.

Subconscious, the expanse I saw

The portal to minds eye, open!

I contemplated

Who it was that pulled the strings

Of those things I saw in dreadful masquerade

Of stark madness went merry round with my head

I passed out, embraced their world

Savoured the poetry of revolt -

Sheer elegy of menace

I have not been the same since,

I took on the profession of a devil

The world I see in a grotesque light

Evil perform with the gestures of a clown

Pure I live in blasphemy

Mephisto I am hidden in madonnas gown

From the code of common sense I'm free

To bad you are not here to partake my strange horror

'Cause here is where our ways will part

I will not exchange this power

Spring of my suffering

I do not envy the conscience pure

Of the blind man in his bliss world

I would not be devoid the fruit of guile
