A Final Bow

Posted on September 17, 2016 by Phil

Curtains close

One final act plays out

To an empty house

No encore

No applause

Alone you stand

A bony fist of rage

Defiant

Alone

A pallid corpse

Begging for loose dirt

To cover your rotting stench

A faceless clown

With no one left

To heed your beck and call

 

Look inward my dear

At the soulless space

A Miasmic void

Survey the fetid wasteland

That we once tilled

Together

About Phil

Hi, my name is Phil.

I define myself as: a free spirit, a writer, a philosophical anarchist, a poet; a lover of nature, a lover of art, a protector of animals, as well as a devoted friend and partner
