Vertigo

It stops As soon as I get up It starts again As I lie down, The nerves falling out Eyes crying Heart sinking, Mind losing sync World spinning. I do not understand, I do not know, The room around making a go, And suddenly then, My imaginations, Taking control. There’s something high, In my blood, There’s something low, On the floor below, A natural disaster, Is an explanation? But, where did, My powers to rhyme go. One step at a time, I tell myself, Don’t fall of the bed, Just yet, ‘Love the feeling that you’re in’ Do I? Subconsciousness, weariness, Dormant, concealed, Do I love this? Quite yes. The feeling so sublime, Of my equilibrium, Vanishing completely, ‘I’m okay’ I tell myself, ‘I will be okay’ corrected. In this perpetual night, With dogs singing in unison, My head trembling like an earthquake, And I, In a peaceful state, Human body, Starts to make sense.
