Confused
Do you want to experience?
…the life of the writer
Who doesn’t really understand
Life continually moving to the right
Sideways emotional breakdowns
Dawning of a lunar sunrise on Tuesday
Knights wearing their protective masculinity
Mustached feelings of upper lips
Lemon butter granules of hope
While the working man suffers
Whimsical thought patterns of light
Illuminate an illustrious psalm of change
Do you want to experience?
A melon colored symphony of fire
Engulfed in a tabernacle in your mind
Full of manipulative and aggressive words
…thought and devotion becoming friends
Going on a journey through emotion
Wanting a written record of life
The way hazel shaded eyes scope
Metaphors that can leave you empty
Do you want to Experience?
Arabian nights of passionate remorse
As regret rears its ugly head to plot
Burnt sand between you toes
Slicing the soiled epidermal carnage
Thirsting for that one moment
That somehow rectifies this situation?
Left like an anvil on your chest
Do you want to Experience?
Frostbitten toes turning black and blue
Somehow crippling your soul
Man of the hour for fifteen minutes
Hopping through dimensions of bliss
Savage beasts pound on their drums
Scantly clad carnivores feed on emptiness
Melodic young men fortify thirsts of pleasure
Recognizing your peers inner thoughts and emotions
Listening and learning the way to refreshment
Stands that quench a simple vice
Verses sung out of key
Do you want to experience?
Art simplified through scientific experimentation
That can justify exactly why or when
A simple beat in the background
Enhances words without even trying
Sexiness expressed through art of a different breed
Breathing life into this astrological union
Striking a cord some where deeply untouched
But needing to be
Not to make anyone feel stupid
Writing about the universe seen
As progression escapes from the speaker
