Brain Storm

Tim had entered the state of a corpse while the chorus assaulting his purulent soul festered Callouses on his corpus callosum pretended there was no connection just chaos exhumed Corpuscles splattered astray ice in his vessels in the same vein of demise as so often before He stood at the pons dissected in cerebellar disconnection nauseous detached from brain’s stem A sequence of rapid succession seceded left overs Hailstorms of concussion hailed hell freezing over Snow gathered fast only that the crystals were black Thunder and lightning electrocuted his passions A squall out of nowhere invited rapidly raging squalor Violent tempest arrested in sunken emotions Blistering blizzards invaded the shelter of survival Flooded with emptiness he crouched in the corner of his neuro-toxified mind complicit of oblivion He had tried the loneliness of a desolate desert but then sand storms seeped through his pores poured increasing abrasions towards ashes from dust A vicious assault broke all defences’ containment as he listened to the dispatch of an exploding skull Caustic corrosion dangled from sockets of blinding sight Tim attempted to drown himself at the oasis only to find the mirage dispersing convoluted conclusion But whirl winds returned him to the point of departure He lingered at the crux of pontificated bridges crucifix in hand and resolved to jump from the past Ready to escape from judgement he stumbled and fortunately the overpass had collapsed due to the storms Faced with the murky slate of destruction he gathered the debris and waited for fate to abate 04th October 2018

I know it very well. Can only write about it when I am well. And strangely or not, it is a very good and honest friend to me. Thanks Silent One. Kai
