Deadly Delusions

I Could
Hypo-Chondriac My Way
Straight Into Another
Heart Attack That
I Never Knew I'd
Had.

Weird.

Delusions

 A thousand bees never settling down,
       buzzed within his head.
    Their confused drone, into a ruffled rumble grew, 
    lengthening into frenzied drum beats,
               taking the might of

A Man's Delusions

You’re wrong.
And I wish you’d know it.
You’re not the victim,
Of some elaborate plan—
You’re just wrong.
I set my boundaries.
I set my rules,
I drew a line,
In the sand of our relationship,
And you crossed it.
Over,
And over again—
You say it was accidental,
But if that was an accident,
I don’t want to know what you think is purposeful.
Choosing delusion over reality,
Can’t

Dance with Delusions

Dancing with delusions, sparks of hellfire
Course through my lugubrious quill pen.
Distorted words igniting fear,
Anxiety fills crevices,
Encircling, silencing,
Asphyxiating.
Walls closing in,
Compressing.
Hope fades,
Doom.
Dread
Runs cold.
Veins poisoned,
Sanity slips
Unmercifully.
The angels are mimicked.
Light dimming, darkness descends
As demons mingle with the dead.
Apocalyptic skies crack open
To wash away all that you held sacred.

I coulda written that song, Purple Rain

I coulda written that song, “Purple Rain.”
It didn’t take that big of a brain.
And I coulda written that song “Hotel California.”
But girl - I do wanna warn ya!
I’ve always been considered at least halfway insane.

Shipwrecked in a sea of Delusions

Love
Not felt, nor seen
Lost….
Forgotten, lost to the waves
Waves of hurt, bobbing away
Locked, in prisons of their own making
Cut off from the shore
Shores not seen a while, marooned
Till the rocks of culpability, to break
To open a heart, shipwrecked
Shipwrecked in a sea of delusions
Shipwrecked in a sea of angst

The Madness of the Crowd and Other Popular Delusions

(Dzachuka Tibet, summer of 2017)

The Madness of the Crowd and Other Popular Delusions

The crowd is always prone to madness
Since reaction as a herd in danger
Demands conformity without reason.

The fact we live in a time of madness
Is nothing new or unusual,
Relative Reality after all being
Merely a conspiracy of relatives.

But sometimes it seems it’s all now extra

DELUSIONS AHEAD

The urge to hold hands
The urge to have a dance
The urge to hug him tight 
As my problems turn light

Wanna listen to his talks
Wanna go on midnight walks
Wanna go to movie tonight
Wanna live like it's the last night
 
 I'll promise not to hurt you 
 I'll promise not to cheat you 
I'll promise to

Emotional Siege

My emotions tease me at their will,
Plunder my hapless intellectual world
And declare a bloodless coup d’état.
This undeclared war shocks my core,
Grips me with a freakish fear
And forces me to plunge deep within,
To rein in my inner turmoil.

Ceaseless kisses from my emotions
Fail to hide their deep-rooted delusions
With perennial problems of articulation.
Hidden serpents on a rocky hill
Stare

Constructs

Ignorance is a lie;
A construct of entitlement.

Separation is a lie;
A construct of inflated ego.

Hatred is a lie;
A construct of self-directed loathing.

Powerlessness is a lie;
A construct of apathy.

Racism is a lie;
a construct of ignorance.

Entitlement is a lie
A construct of degradation.

Death is a lie;
A construct of embedded fear.

Poverty is a lie;
A construct of perverted power.

delusions waver away

My days full of joy.
Delusions waver away
like the fading colors of the rainbow. 
Strife is turned into peace
as nightingales and their chicks
sing in concert within the stage of the night.

Delusions of Grandeur

Why does the mouse disguise itself as a rat?
Because it has delusions of grandeur.
The mouse thinks it must win in life,
And to win in life is to be intimidating;
To make a name for yourself.
Rats are feared, but who would fear a mouse?
A mouse, with its big ears and adorable whiskers—
A mouse is but a small

MILESTONES

Roused by a rude jolt 
I start up from my half-slumber.

Utterly clueless I move about
clinging to my pet delusions 
in complete darkness of my past
coming after me swinging a truncheon…

I vaguely hear screams and yells
hurled at me some time before 
echoing in my memory’s vault 
as from a distant past.

But yesterday seemed like a bowl

Manic Episode

delusions, illusions,
these random contusions,
idolic notions of
noiseless commotions,
keeps me in motion,
whirling with the gravity
I'm on my knees,
praying what you're saying
I still believe
and if its true
what i really need,
is to be sent away
from family
and friends,
I will contend
but that doesn't mean
it's not right for me,
can't you see
I'm not in control of this body
anymore
restless and sore,
an endless downpour
of emotions,
