Mmm

Venal insects
Or wraith of those I fear,
They crawl on knife feet and sink their fangs into
My dreams,
And poison them with nightmares.
Devilish plume clouds of incandescent palour devour
my sunny days.
Chance my eyes a blink
Before fear becomes the world
And happiness is memory,
My scampering joys
How I ignored them
Saw their faults
The smile at present,
Is a long perfected expression,
of a feeling that I seem to have forgotten to use,
Liar,
Faker,
Joker these days,
See your joy now flight because you chased it away,
you chose to attack it,
Said goodbye then,
You and misery are pals now.
