MAD

← Back to Extra

‘M’ is for a manic desire.
It’s a dream, a craving,
That burns the eternal pyre,
Crackling, cackling, an unholy choir


‘A’ is for an anxious dream,
For a manic fire
Must burn its seer
Burn its seer with fright
Shivering fright that steals
Steals the warmth of the light


‘D’ is for dreading the dark,
A fear of running out,
Out of wood
Cold, exposed, stark
No match,
No spark


What beauty is it to be mad,
To burn within an eternal cycle,
With the pyre flames dancing,
Dancing with passion and fright,
Delicious dread in the flickering light\
