Boredom Poem
This is my boredom poem:
I've lazily called it Death of an Angel. I might change its name later on.
--------
I watched you through my open window
In the street below
You stood there in the cold harsh yellow
Of the streetlight’s glow
The Man looked like he wanted blood
The way he lurked around
He stalked the shadows like a cat
And barely made a sound
He walked up and you kissed him there
With passion, but with hate
A kiss that made the streetlights flare
A kiss that sealed your fate
He backed away and said something
I couldn’t understand
You argued back, and from my view
I saw the world expand
I saw the heavens and the hells
Sin, purity and death
And when you stopped it all returned
I had to catch my breath
And in a flash the world returned
My room, the streets, the light
You two were the there, held in embrace
He grinned in dead delight
His knife was hidden in his coat
And quickly, I must note
He had the dark blade in his hand
Held under your throat
And here he whispered in your ear
But you did not reply
And in one go he slit your throat
And spat on you goodbye
I see this in my dreams always
Your skin a faded blue
And I feel pain and hear the wails
The angels cry for you
