Unhinged Flight(Must We Be Mad)

Windblown
hair around my head,
something tells me I'm not dead.
Swallowing fireflys to light up
my insides................

Tasseled shawl against the chill,
taken by a darker thrill.........
              Leftover noises,
         a wanton world ,
   chaos in a ballooning ballroom 
          of confetti dreams.

       frozen fusion of the pupils,
    whispered passions 
melting mountains,
                a spark..........
to shatter perfect darkness,
          bright emerald reasons 
for the waking Dragon's
     slashing through the wisps
of silence
    wrapped in crimson
static stillness
          adrift in spangled
    space   as
unknown 
      as winter,
      heaving lost horizons
out beyond the last eliptic,

               Sun Seeker..........
Striking out across the cosmic sea
on the streams of black hole winds

        A Summit of Escape!
    raking in a comet's tail
and on beyond the spiral stars,

   Oh,   Onyx Hearted
                     jagged,breaking,
              pouring forth your 
     coal black roses
        through the portals wet with grieving
    tearing back through
          time eternal
   to the howling end 
      of mind.

Must we be Mad?
