Love Poem: Obliteration

Obliteration

In the rearview recesses
I spy crestfallen stresses
Binding might tugging my lift
When I grasp your tiny hand
I plunge into that quicksand
Until my breath begs to drift

Once the daylight fades away
I won't miss that solar play
Since we dance in lethal night
Lost in our covert nexus
Ghouls taunt my solar plexus
One spark shall flare to ignite

As we torch that powder keg
Shrapnel penetrates my leg
Just as I get ripped apart
You stay immune to the blast
While my head goes flying past
Sift carnage to find my heart

He still pulses in your palm
Singing his percussive psalm
Even after duty fails
Stuff that muscle in your bag
Time to call your friends to brag
Celebrate your love travails

Once your festive delight dies
Tell me all that you despise
Severed ears heed your harangue
I may be goo on the wall
Yet I'm not concerned at all
Since I went out with a bang
