Necromancers Song (Incubus Guitar & Buddhist Drums) (Free verse) by SupremeDreamer
We traveled the sky,
along the winking stars
to reach the moons midnight bar
where ravens dance
in the exotic ivory glow--
There you played an incubus' guitar
to the beat of my buddhist drums
and the necromantic tune of the lead singer
glorifying the life of a rogue to the crowd;
A concert of wicked drollery-
where our songs were heard by souls
smoking hand-carved wooden pipes
or drinking their chosen poison--
The home where our questionable demeanor
was accepted, at times applauded
or draped with scorn.
Now the smoke has cleared,
the liquors been drained;
I listen to the silence
left by unconscious bodies
strewn across the floor-
wondering where we've gone
if anywhere--
Perdition or Elysium?
