Four Dark Seasons

Escape from a spring tides blossoming stench

A wrench, drenched in evil so foul

Mood could turn the world backwards and make civil men go wild,

But how is just nobody’s reason to find

A way, a fortune a meaning to life

Just something to make us all give enough to make kindness a style,

Tortured and un-tuned to nature’s way of telling

His message was scripted with vengeance’s best wishes

For merriment was never prescribed or described to this monster of a child,

Talented with sadistic charm that could nourish a virgin

His hurting was only the beginning of a melancholic cycle

That would bleed his tainted existence dry of everything he felt inside,

Spring

Naked and unseen summer suppressed his screams

From the fringes of sanity he watched women make men happy

It would seem that the season’s gaieties would elude him till the day that he died,

At the mercy of the heat he felt like a prisoner

As the sun pressed insidiously down on his skin

Darkened his disposition was to fester and become remorse personified,

The makings of a villain to menace planet earth

The tragedy of one having to seek his own justice

Twisted like a conniving wolf’s intestines his thoughts focused when he cried,

More time brought a hunger that was beastly

Watching the stars by night sharpened his malignant instincts

Until no creature on the surface could look into his crimson eyes so vile,

Summer

An autumn coolness would occasionally influence his reason

Gripped by an eerie sense of forgiving he could be most forthcoming

When trees became bare and nature hardened, his own agony would make him blind,

Without the burn, sensations mellowed to orange

Tainted his rot would rot itself till it felt like nourishment

So surreal, the internal turbulence would seem to stand still so he could sigh,

For days on end he would contemplate forgetting what he knew

Life could become lives if he believed otherwise

Sadness could melt against the bleeding sunset of days left behind,

Autumn

When darkness engulfs all in the dead heart of winter

His wounds would sing a melody that reverberated through his being

Freeing him of all doubt the cold gave him comfort so his conviction intensified,

Stone-eyed, justified, pure he blossomed

A seed that was never meant to flower

Gave of himself intensely with each breathe, before he died.

Winter
