Darrell Rose Poet Lyric

Dreams of a Madman

I hold the raging’s -
of this madman- 
contained - 
within these walls-
Painting  only- 
pleasant masks -
upon his face

The genius is - 
it works so well-
That sanity - 
no one can tell-
has slipped beyond  - 
my horizon’s reach 

Logic’s been- 
the only guard -
maintaining order here -
It’s structured rules - 
enforced for years -
Oft with heavy hand

I can’t let go - 
for fact it show-
The conflicted man inside - 
Who’s colored eyes - 
Seek many lives- 
with wish to taste them all

Loud voices shout - 
through whisperings- 
bringing ticklings - 
to searching ears -
lifting me - 
beyond this baron place

Their beckon call - 
To mountain breeze,,, 
and Siren’s pleas  - 
from the seas - 
form but two - 
of many desired escapes  

Wild stallions run - 
in valley sun -
yet lifeless- 
here I sit- 
as dreams of my tomorrows - 
fade to dust
