I have nothing coming to mind, so I stared at a painting and wrote what I saw
Don't shout!
Don't attack me from all angles...
It's all blank, unrealised -
It's overload, burnt out sun
Brief eclipse, cooling
Then the outpouring of more
It's in my brain, the noise
The shame
Red raw eyes and tear torn gaps
The confusion ~
Two halves, fixed in place
Tumbling into oblivion
There's something to be learned
Lost in the mess
Unperceiving drowned eyes
There's a door, there's a door
Locked with an alarm blaring!
Let me out/Let me in
Nothing tallys
Two many ill fitting shapes
The sun/the phases of the moon
Days go uncounted
Thoughts slide from brain to heart
Unspoken words stick in throats
Take those imploding fireworks
Unpack them
Let them burn themselves out
The fog rises
We both know it
It takes me first
Blood stained pages
Digest them
Destroy the evidence
Sticking plasters over the damage
Tip into the light of the sun
To die from the wounds
Clear the scene
All weathers to wash and dry
Just the scratches stay
The shadow and the light
Indecipherable debris
Nothing to shout about...
