There Is Sanity
There is sanity
In my madness,
If only it could be found,
For you’ll find
My ravings if unravelled,
Are actually quite profound.

True reason
My wants are to vague
Foreshadowing all my needs
My honor is wide
Nothing left for true reason
Insanity is all that i have

Courting Insanity
Strings of inspiration swirl through my mind
They float and frolic endlessly
Until they spiral out of control
And eventually get intertwined
For I am a non-writing writer,
An untameable monster - forever trapped in cerebral stagnation.

Incendiary Insanity
It was far from being a match made in Heaven
More so like a match that ignited the fires in Hell
We took turns playing arsonist
Setting love ablaze
Our memories broken branches used for kindling
Torn from the trees of suspicion
We accepted the fate of the flames we ignited
Lunacy that burned woodlands of our passion.
She

When help is not enough
he's a seriously troubled soul
dwelling on regrets
they're eating him alive
things he can't forgive
hurts he can't get past
dreams he left afloat
cobwebs in his mind
his rambling thoughts
will drive him off the cliff
and sink him to despair
it's bordering insanity
i see him surely drowning
and there's nothing i can do
if he won't grab the buoy

Mirage of Sanity
I never said I was sane. I didn’t claim perfection no, I lean more towards distain. Compare, internalize, never share. Crazy, imperfect thoughts run everywhere but never straight. They don’t play the sane part long enough to call fun, so I can enjoy a day without feeling emotionally imprisoned. Sanity is not a noun that

To the climactic; climax'
Its variable; real and valuble,
it effects the lives we lead.'
God alone set this in motion.'
Psudo science shall be revealed'
To be no more than squally-squeally
Newly made up, just like that word.'
Soon to be erazed..No lasting trace.'
Under the heavens,to be seen or heard.'

Insanity
Few lived upon that field by end of day;
they lay, with sword and shield,
sacral ground, they would not yield
lost to a wound, never healed.

To Insanity and Back Again
Insanity and back again
Somethings got to give
Whatever you do
Please don't shout my name
It calls up the demon
In me
We partied when we were young
Had to stop the world from turning
We ran as fast as we could and then faster
You lived for the minute and never thought it all would be gone
Crushing killing
Creative aptitude
Not even thinking of

Twelve Sunflowers in a Vase
twelve of us he choose to paint
sons of Jacob in an earthen
jar so sturdy
plonked us with vehemence
directed by neuronal cells
skull protecting scrambled
delicacy
managed by eyes
emitting fire spark piercings
fingers reading poverty
boats

Blessed Are The Lovers
Seems we can’t see each other now and then
Can’t reconcile with it, my dearest dear
It looks like you’re ignoring me and when
You come, I’m outdoors again, not near
Connection lost, and so are we, I don’t know why
This saddest circus of events can’t fade away
When there’ll be time to spare for you and I?
Another time

Virtual Insanity Becomes World Reality
Virtual Insanity Becomes World Reality
The accursed news, so obviously painful to this poetess!
That we earthlings decided were in need no of divine intervention.
Yes…wanting none of God's love or, attention?
Oh, indeed some not only scoff but pay no heed to God’s direction?
Get real,my intellectually bright friends!
How many

The echo returns not
Hello…
HELLO?
Nothing.
Silence.
The absence of sound.
Shhh…
I command my body to stay still, to obey, to shrink into the silence.
Rigid.
Unmoved.
It might come back—
SNAP!
Screeches from the winged night guards above slice through the air.
A sudden rush of wind

A kind of trained insanity
This day by day by day!
This simplistic work, rest and play!
This house, this car, this work!
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock before you realise who’s the jerk!
These lines get deeper set.
These eyes get less upset.
These lies and lies and lies!
These persons loved now just despised.
The dreams that blew away.
The promises broken eat away.
The realisation of
