Poet Destroyer A Poet Epic

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

ONE WORD~

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, 
Running through my mind,
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, 
Running through my veins,
                                   
A silica odor, dust walks through a fresh desert night
Cool air beneath and above the sea
A warm furnace smell, I don’t understand
Intricate to rise and receive without knowing
Up ahead in a virtue distance
A mysterious poisonous effluvium light-     
My face feels like a leaf'
My sun holds up its own pendulum rods
Inflammation comes and settles in for the night,
There it stands in a pertinacious manner, with quality
I resurrect this air created from madness, all over again
Twilight, rain stranger than strange
Visions, pursue my path into an infested dark pasture
"From the red Heaven, I fell into the waters of a cobalt Hell"

Perhaps this venerable moment will pass slower than slow
PERHAPS NOT!
If I accept and then decline
Would this balance the precocious state I live in?
How about when wrong directions follow my promiscuous ways 
Is my conglomeration of ideas, no longer safe?	
When I no longer value the values of the young
Will I sleep at the mercy of his ancient heart
They're the voices give and take from our health

Today, those soft, perfect eyes are calling from far away,
Ashes high, vapors and infection welding me
The bright skies swallow every thin silver line,
Where the clouds sit somehow~ in bacteria
UNITY! 
   UNITY! Like a common curse
Always, wanting more than love can touch

We are living it up with no alibis!
A way to be and not to BE!
The champagne leaves their cup
Awaken in a life, disturbed ~ NOW INTERRUPT!
Only in this world, lava will reach her lips
Prisoners and doers; 
All night…. Too late for a treatment
Lungs, decaying, evil rats
Direction, affection, ending all the inhalation

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, 
Running through my lungs,
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, 
Flat-lined my life ____/\ /\___ ___/\______/\___ _______________

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 30, 2017 at 2:11 PM Some kinda word you planted in my mind, PD. It is a true aphorism: you can learn something new every day. Your supremely talented pen has woven another masterpiece of prose. Such a beautiful mind have ye. Love and more love always.

Laura Breidenthal February 11, 2013 at 5:57 PM Riveting and astonishing to the very end. Absolutely loved this one! I agree with a lot of the comments here--and yes, the title really drove me in. That is to say, where it drove me is somewhere out of this world---YOUR mind PD, is simply brilliant. Always, Laura

Jack Jordan February 6, 2013 at 4:36 PM I'll admit that I was attracted to read this piece because of the title, which I absolutely cannot pronounce. I enjoy the rich way you assemble words, almost stream of consciousness, which I also enjoy. Great work! Jack

James Tate October 6, 2012 at 7:29 AM Wow, PD, you have highlighted the longest word in the dictionary if I'm not mistaken. You are giving readers a run for their money. Congrats.
