Virginia
evening rolled into
my self conscious beliefs
during a subtle warming
of climate change
i'd completed a list
of life's worries
that had henceforth succomb
to a natural disaster before me
why i was quite tempted
to hunker down beneath whims
thee hovering of thee vanishing eye
from this tropical storm
brewing within my soul
emotions were stirring about
calalities of sudden laughter
hazing almost above the hinting
of rouge the sweet nectar
surrounding suicide thoughts
a bleak craving of balance
between life and death
why i'd explored eternal meaning
immortal matter consumed me
wrapping my body in a mauve garment
of my past my present
as my future mingled about sanity
madness had occured over time
an yet i'd never felt
more whole before
than in my death
created somewhere within
my own mangled mind
