Vermilion Veil
From nothing, zero to one
My inner universe begun
As these thoughts arrived
To decode and decide the passage of daily life
Sifting through perceptual heresy
With clairvoyant clarity
Scaring me, as I peer through the vermilion veil
Of my puzzling polarity
Vast factual deposits
Mines of memories
Fermenting lucid liquor
Intoxicating me intensely
Preemptively, I senselessly
Stoop further into this reverie
Collectively cascading chaotically
To carelessly catapult my anxiety
Jolting my self-imposed subconscious sobriety
To somberly shape-shift daintily into saintly piety
Dyeing me in shining streaks
Of velvety possibilities
Yet it’s surreal to me
To reign in these thought palaces of virility
But now it’s time to leave
Unwillingly
