Poem from Prague
Your text message:
Where are you when I need your love?
All you offer is the darkness of your rage
If loving me is such a difficult religion
Maybe my death will wipe the anger from the page
Bohemia is here, it’s where it started
And is coiled within these walls
I can hear the venom calling
And drips poison in me, then crawls
Where are you my love?
My savage jealous night
The toxin has me now
And paralysed, I feel just right
My reply:
And outside that crumbling wall
I will for you to collapse and fall
Into the suffocating poisoned dark
Where my love will constrict and scar
Bohemia did not start there
And does not end just anywhere
It belongs under the spell of me
And you are trapped and I am free
Return your love to its rightful place
Do not let time erode and waste
Escape the monotony of the same
Embrace the anger and enjoy the shame
