Poem
Electrifying, the ache Trembles in my thoughts, Bringing sparks of memory alive Sacrificing my sanity for immorality Driving out the beauty, The tenderness, the soothing Reaching beyond the sensitivity Into the darkness, the black Fear that echoes in nightmarish screams Terror blazing beyond the spirit Into the feelings, the senses Waking panic, urgent and insistent The worry is like an old friend Instead of the monster – the tyrant Who erases all the beauty With its wind of night, silhouettes Graceful as sanity, Ruler of recklessness, like mania Breathing in crazy – exhaling Fumes of irrationality It’s the mood that comes to life On the fully blazing moon who drifts Like an orb of endlessness The mystery of something far brighter Than its blazing splendor, Sending soft rays of illumining grace Like snowflakes in the fall Rain across the thoughts, gentling Furious, still bringing Confusion into the spirit, tenderly Still, frustrating, grating on the nerves This is menacing, violent and frenzied Fog of hysteria, excited and busy Like the color purple, Who winds its way through the dawn When there is weird weather On the way, thunder and lightening Shooting through the sky, Inviting the mind to ingest the beauty Who excites, stirring the spirit With vibrant visions, victories, priceless Wisdom – warming the heart’s beating Crazy calls to the earth In ways that can’t be heard By the endless streams or oceans, The seas, so trusting, never know Wave upon on wave of fear, Fearless – they continue lifting Bringing in tides and releasing the insights Wonders so delicious they survive Every fire of the mind, The thoughts that bend hope, Nomadic and gross, As they vomit fear, hungering For the tears, the feelings That every heart possessed, even When they silence the lines Laughing while inside, they scream For the pain is greater than they can Experience without passing Beyond words, into the neverland Grief that is like a hellish grave Dug for the hopes, the dreams – perishing Because, inside – the anguish, madness Develops in swells of anxiety, Fear wins when it has no place left to go But within And, I know – fear is a demon Who takes possession of the most Feeling people, the ones who Have hearts that bleed sensitivity, Hearts who believe, until Fear feeds them with senseless Wickedness, cruelty claims them Because it is their very sane believing That causes the devil such cacophony Only God can be successful In winning this fight with Lucifer And, so I pray With my heart set on heaven’s gates
