Perplexity

Through the blood rushed eyes
Monotone faces stare
They point to the ocean
Who smacks its salty lips

Bright red clouds in the sky
Followed by jet black clouds in the sea
Sandy people engulf me
The mind flying but the body dying

As my soul summersaults through the gas
Utter bewilderment and aggravation
New lost sights somewhere in a dream
Regrettably I can’t sleep 

Hallucination of the knowledge organ
As saccharine as pure sugar cane
Might save my sanity after all.

I find things that make me giggle all the time. It's what keeps me some what normal. However, most of my poems are darker because it is my soul way of venting. I very much appreciate your comment! Although I have trouble reading the way you type and say things in comments and messages...
