Odds and Ends
Lone in the nightmare of the day I dream
And go beyond its comforting stream
Around hopes fountain I phantomly sit
Confused yet happy at a dramatic skit
Wafting through the years with conditions
Dancing to songs of hope’s warm invention
I remember the part I fell beneath a trench
Where my elixir of love was utterly quenched
Words fell from my mouth like a baby’s droll
Buried by its tides under a moonlight pool
I Fought inner demons with my bare hands
Reverting dreadful void in my ego strands
I tremble loosing myself in the maelstrom
Yet I felt the pain until it hurt no more
I shout into the void my jagged thoughts
In the velvet dim of the night scape
And in the unrelenting mayhem of it all
I found lost verses In the christened twilight
Somewhere beyond the halted rainbow
I rise from my feeble frailty to find my halo
I take a look back through the stills i took.
locked deep within my heart like closed book
Everything I am and everything am not
Untethered by these ways my old self Begot.
