Perplexity

Through the blood rushed eyes Monotone faces stare They point to the ocean Who smacks its salty lips Bright red clouds in the sky Followed by jet black clouds in the sea Sandy people engulf me The mind flying but the body dying As my soul summersaults through the gas Utter bewilderment and aggravation New lost sights somewhere in a dream Regrettably I can’t sleep Hallucination of the knowledge organ As saccharine as pure sugar cane Might save my sanity after all.

I find things that make me giggle all the time. It's what keeps me some what normal. However, most of my poems are darker because it is my soul way of venting. I very much appreciate your comment! Although I have trouble reading the way you type and say things in comments and messages...
