Misunderstood

Can’t consign the feeling nor the 
mood
gone astray in the mind, 
whispers of blood
from the trinity, life in the blood
in the heart of the beast, tears 
in the flood

Leafs from the sequoia tree, lips 
like height
the clouds still murky, lights in 
the depth
tragedy of life is not death, 
follow the heart
don’t let it die while you still 
breath

stop, breathe, cry if you must- 
there’s always a choice
to give birth to a dancing star in 
the soul- only chaos
for my restless soul, who won’t 
come to dinner 
and her face with tears and 
blood from the eyeliner.
