Devil's Dandelion
Calling to the world from within my four walls
Is not my cup of tea
Maybe beer.
The humming birds die due to cellphone frequencies
I have decided to quit talking
Scavenging on littered words
Had never been my kwan
The truce of dexterity
Had been dipped into the labyrinth of blood, love and despair
My mind is treading on the cloud of nothingness
I seek for the time portal
Squatted down to have a better look at the world
From within the four walls.
I lay back on my once-fluffy pillow
Dream the memories
The cranking of the door is defeaning
Soundproof, I had lived
Mute is good,
Afterall, what is more important for the tongue..
To talk?
To taste?
To kiss....?
The long hours like a deathly hallow
Purge my soul
Like the Devil's dandelion
I flutter in the still, stale air
As, I wait
From within my four walls.
