Poetry Is My Insanity

Poetry is my insanity Poetry is my insanity, sparks collected on flat mirrored walls, frantic phrases floating in a spectrum’s pulsating palette, picturing Dali-esque icicle melted webs and chromatic landscapes blurring in the distance Dancing to the demented sounds of brain cells singing, Zappa inspired A cappella rhythmic compositions, ringing monotone echoes in between Jupiter and the ghosts counting off beat pendulum swings on fingers and toes Words with eyes, they see, they stare they blink, they close, wandering attic crawl spaces casting neon shadows, illuminating ideas passed on to the next pair lashing out as another retreats Pulling on my heart, squeezing every last thought of love, oozing in blacklight ink, day-glo sunrises of roach clip offerings on psychedelic posters, depicting ceramic moons fluttering midst crayon heavens eating stardust candy… Poetry is my insanity and it is driving me crazy… in the best possible way

Your emotions and wit wrap themselves around your words and we are left questioning our own sanity. Very well written. The conscious mind extends itself beyond our norms and we enter a world composed of reality defused with imagination. Emile.
