Prince Nightmare Poem by Kevin Patrick

Prince Nightmare

Rating: 4.5


unconditionally confess I'm a certifiable mess
a noxious provocateur who emits a foul stench
insufferable cold and callous, I've an arsenal of malice
nurtured from vendettas that leave you cold and drenched
so if you like songs with love and I like songs with death
Then be ready for a kiss that will take away your breath




well if your looking for humor
I've a black belt in sarcasm
A PHD in cynicism
That can knock you down a chasm
The only sports I'm good at
are the games of holding grudges
and if you want to try and play me
here's a trophy of gold crutches



Marriage and a family? To me that's a calamity
a prison of biology, pernicious to my health
the quintessence of my essence? is arrested to adolescence
my image of maturity is illusion under stealth
swipe right if you like and I'll be your best Mr Wrong
I'll be the toast of all your trauma in a Taylor swift song


Oh your looking to feel complete?
there's space for rent in my heart
I've emotional vacancy
to tear loneliness apart
my rising sign is Taurus
but most people say I'm cancer
cause if your looking for the truth
you'll never like my answers





If its chivalry you expect, then I most certainly defect
There's nothing shining off this knight just squalid mud and grit
My ambition is impotent of a confidence of no competence
with a genius of ineptness my brain hemorrhages grey spit
So If your looking for Romeo he's at another rodeo
I'm checked in with Frankenstein at his straight jacket bordello




I could light your fire tonight
and leave you cold for tomorrow
show you heaven in a moment
and then a kingdom of hell's sorrow
never fall in love with me
or your going to need some healthcare
I'm no delusional prince charming
I'm the uglier princess nightmare

You're certainly not pulling any punches in this extraordinary poem. Rarely do we come across a poet who publicly shares such a deeply honest self-assessment through the use of dark humour.
