Traumatic Brain Injury

as I lay beneath the twillight 
of my perpetrual youth 
why under a knights cloak 
I'd withered very quickly 

saddled beyond self an unconscious 
metaphor idealistically reaching for 
melancholy congressional desires 
morbid meetings of the mind

I could only invision
through dark windows
in my head I'd drifted
calmly into madness into a sheer

sleep state of awareness 
a rapture of small panting's
kept me ajar amidst the emptiness 
of bruised brain matter so well crafted 
while dreaming in pieces
