Twisted Mysteries

Twisted Mysteries

Wound around the spikes

Spike in my head,

Cracked and seeping light.

Peer through the keyhole

Deep in my soul.

Frozen,

Lonely and cold.

Shaking with fury?

Or furry lost memories?

Hazy fog spills through,

Concealing truth

That was once known.

Read the open book,

Dismembering my myth.

Crying at the scales tipped.

Spoiled and broken.

I have spoken.

Ridiculed, yet nude.

Atrophied from living,

Death is my sweet embrace.

Comfortably coiled in my corner.

Lying awake,

Crying and screaming, “I’m normal!”

Alien eyes see clearly.

My losses are infinite.

Twisted mysteries

Wind about my head,

Feeding on me.

Pulling me slowly into

Comfortable numbness.

Twisted Mysteries

Currently Available on Amazon Kindle & MobiPocket Only

Twisted Mysteries is a poetic look at time, insanity, rage, and normalcy.  The poetry that makes up Twisted Mysteries breaks open the world of the twisted and analyzes some of the hidden subjects underlying everyman.

Every person has ideas or feelings that they don't talk about or act on for the fear of being labeled.  These poems explore the darker side of the psyche, the shadow-world, where control is assumed through power, death, and insanity.

The whole book cloaks profound statements (mostly) in the dark threads of poetic symbolism.  Enjoy reading the poems, but take the time and see if you can look through the veil.  Analyze the mysteries of life, you may find something new; you may find some things you already knew. 

Twisted Mysteries is the second book by K. Troy available from Creative House Press.
