Everyone who has read the Sandman series will hopefully see where Im getting at..


A Portrait of Delirium

A gaslighted face of sickly appeal
a frenzied parade of the Absinthe surreal
Fervent vapours, rotting bouquets on a grave
cascades through the narcotic air of decay
Sweat and lust reeking from old bones
euphoric laments through the atelier moans
Dust coloured breath on sleepy eyes
lilac-scented touch on enamoured flies
Mossy green lace keeps a burial shroud
oblivious to all but the roaring crowd
Delicious Delirium with her opiated brawl
Death`s little sister, addictive to all

narcotic decay, higher and higher we go, twirling faster and faster, until finally the dance stutters and we find ourselves rotting too.

a fine portrait, though the paint is a little cracked.
