Life’s Repetition of rinse and repeat:

Life’s Repetition of rinse and repeat:
Saga, the odyssey
 lies 
And deceit.
Juliet’s drowning upon daggers blade in
Response to a Romeo’s lethal swallow. 
The need be not the chasing down of serpentine sleuthing out the whys they bit you..
But the how so to heal oneself from poisons onset.
Cause the effect.
Effect the cause.
Alterations of souls allegiances.
Whom wages the war upon one’s self 
Loses all in either outcome. 
Close the gate,
Button down the hatches 
Night draws near.
Light the lamps for shadows creep.
Let illumination run deep..
Burn out yesterday’s fabled ways. 
Upon pages of white begin anew.
“Lord what fools these mortals be”
This said by Shakespeare and not by me.
Instead mirror thought of phrase as “idiocracy pains the existence of man”.
Overcome..undone
Underwhelmed..overburdened.
Buried in minds sea
Drowning in muddy thoughts.
