Dark Corners

poetry By: Tilla Sonrise

what drives men
to live in dark corners of there memories
writing memoirs
in midnight hours
where only the silence is listening

what makes men
build monuments
to be buried in  then seal the tomb
so no one can view the body

what drives men
insane
forced to live in the dark matters
in there brain

what makes them love the burdens
refuse to eat
sit up all night long and
refuse to sleep

is it the music
that plays like
skipped records of Shakespearean plays

othello and juliet
born of death like macbeth

still births
paint themselves
like the tapestries of dead men

like baby killing doctors
and the darkness that surrounded
prince’s father

what moved colbain
to hendrix on a janice joplin
or elvis to michael jackson
does monroe reflect madonna

where’s the child
that has his own
or was billie right

life an endless fight
where men try to exist in the
dreams of others
flying from the pain of windows
dying under covers

in darkness
why do men hide
in solemn portraits
chins strapped to chest
as if it was a sin to smile

did curt
colbain
because he was trying to let his soul out

what drives men
to live in dark corners of there memories
writing memoirs
in midnight hours
where only the silence is listening

what drives men
to live in dark corners of there memories
writing memoirs
in midnight hours
where only the silence is listening

what drives men
to live in dark corners of there memories
writing memoirs
in midnight hours
where only the silence is listening
