Dismounting Once More

Kurt floats on bubble wrapped ice-cream in marshmallow guise Swathed in a blanket of temptation he drifts on the sweet taste White tender bliss cushioned in pink illusions of sugary dreams Caress his saddle as he straddles a unicorn feathered in utopia Embraced by illusions he gathers a magic wand at the cliff face Until he surrenders further conquest to bare spurs of contempt God forsaken euphoria bursts into warped time out of sequence Mocks dyssynchronous promises engulfed in misplaced hooves Delirious reigns swap place with a splintered crop along the ride Soapsuds have lathered brutal leather as boots fail to prevent A rapturous march from Nirvana to the peril of sunken Atlantis Hell and the stallion break loose and the nightmare speeds up Rapid descent unfolds rapturously in slow motion like a silent movie About a horse whisperer seeking his voice as he falls off the wagon Snout blistered and breathing in ravenous disbelief of misadventure On the downward scarp of scarred remembrance of past decline Kurt collects sunken feelings and braces himself for another attack Invincibility could not last forever and he hangs low in crude defeat 08th March 2020
