Victim of Changes

By Mark Miller 
02/27/2017 

Misuse in efforts of conscience abused in use reliance on substance for short lived comforts.

Machine of status in a creatures stature drowns below layers deep beneath characters silent misprision.

Broken down stricken down kept down in love with dance enhanced in a chemical romance.

Debasement inside lying still escape became a symptom a hollow metaphor pained with commission.

Reaching above sensory distortion grasp a surface decayed by rolling streams of decadence remains of choice in past circumstance. 

Luke warm sadness fills a hollow hole below in dark depths lies my long lost animal of tissue and flesh. 

Behind barriers of nature and stage lies my feeble friend of first born sentience in wait for guidance.

No fear for being there he heals basal emotions in disturbance hidden from awareness and consciousness.

Renewal of unstable condition rising above atmosphere in impulse of mixed function in prose perceptions and feelings.

Looking down a fond farewell to caged friend I'll never remember or know until illusions of reality come haunting again.

Mark: This work is too deep for me. They say when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is quit digging. So I'm going on down your list. Thanks for sharing with all of the "great" poets that will find a meaning in your words. I'm a silly old rhymer. Keep them coming, I'm coming back. oldbuck
