Suicide Watch

Suicide Watch

Time meter swings from a rope in the attics and antics of my mind
                      barbed in chronicles tentacles of raven swallows ingesting ticking
seconds away from under the duvet of spaced out stretches spell
                      bound in dyslexic dysfunction in grammar distorted the syntax all
black depicting semantic delusion of clock work’s terminal peace

                     Deep down and under scratched surfaces of doom awaits another
measure of a different frame mounted shattered fragmentation
                 evolving from void into the tentative tether awakenings in memories
of a future revisited of a kinder place swinging happily meandering
                     when the pastures of pleasure and passion mix jubilant exaltation

I am a yo-yo a Ying Yang a fool and a wise man jester and clown
                     casting dazzling shadows on the mosaic of life through a lens like
a bird on a wire full flight ahead hanging on with a claw’s lacerated
                    tears and the tempo’s rhythm pulsing heart-breaking truths in the
fallacy of certainty of composure unity and unchanging fortification

                      Through depression I have received growth enrichment clarity in
regards of the jungle of meaning and live to tell the story of what
                        reality checks balances juggles foreboding trepidation into calm
composition back and beyond a force forthright and forthwith in
                      the spur of the moment eternal and fleeting and that's who I am

Sui generis in Ego-cidal watch positioned and roped in by the Self
