Pile of Papers

The words pass from my lips
Scrambled and jumbled 
From my pen tips 
Reflections 
About my present affections 
Or a deep emotion
Like a potion 
Tantalizing my sentiment 
How it wears on me 
Like a tenement 
Knocking down my weak walls 
Forcing me to fall 
Into the depths of blunt insensible fog
The only hopes of clearing my mind 
Is defined 
By removing my madness 
In an eternal sleep 
In this heap
