Poems For Goths, Gangsters and Other Mysterious Souls

20 Years of Nick Armbrister's Dark Poems

PATH
There was one who taught me all, as she taught the witch
at the other side of the estate. We are meant to be the best,
no one touching us on our path.
Me and you, together we had it all,
I met you in the Crystal Chamber. You became my wife,
me the goth, you the witch, fairy tale story.
I became your student and learned all I could,
we toured Europe, saw the best gigs, had our tattoos.
My past caught up with me, tore us apart,
not a cat in hell’s chance. Those mind's eye images
that nearly killed me, us, snapped at my heals for many a year.
You wanted my baby, why you married me, loved
me, would die for me.
You asked do I want to see my daughter?
Past demons tore me apart, the fall of us.
I married you for the companionship, it seems I was wrong.
You caught my shit, not your fault, for this I am sorry.
It had to end, I wasn’t happy.
Now years later, you got a new husband, got your child, are complete.
I got my gothic rebirth – The Gathering.
Got to see this majestic band, meet them.
Annie loved her words upon my arms, a reason to live.
My magical path is now solely my own, ours just a memory.
My writing is now my existence, gothic metal
the soundtrack to my life, warplanes my heavenly devilish dream.
I don’t know all of the answers, not even why we split:
Nick and her…

Soccer Match
And so we've finally reached midnight,
The question was, why did it take so long?
Now the forces of war and darkness are ready for evenfall.

The nuclear clock ran out of time.

It started when Turkey carried out their threat.
They shot down a Neo Soviet Fencer jet.
Both crew ejected but one was killed by rebels.
The same rebels the Neo Soviets bombed recently.

Payback is a fucking angry bitch.

Neo Soviet lies now spew forth.
RT and Sputnik propaganda sites insist:
it was ground fire; our jet was over Syria, not Turkey.
Did they say ground fire so they can hit the missile sites?

No doubt a counter move will follow.

This will be a big football match.
NATO v Neo Soviet Russia and their proxy slaves.
Just like the old days but with a difference:
NATO never splashed an enemy jet like this.

Not since Korea when America and Soviet pilots battled it out.

I've waited all my life for this.
Gonna get a front row seat for the big event.
Get my beer and pizza ready.
But it would have been different if the Fencer had an escort.

Were where the Flanker fighters?

Back at base drinking vodka?
We'll need a litre of vodka for what will soon follow.
End of days, Armageddon, the Apocalypse, World War Three...
