Oh painful pain lingering
throbbing unjoyously
flaunt that false grin again
bring me terror of the unstable mind
where rabid horses trample garden gates
where pampered vines bleed broth and sap
no food no flavors just herbal failures
not yet extracted
the untended tend to decay
“thank you no” do I ever say
I talk I think I never pray
gracious gratitude fails twice
to patronize with sincerity
I then bend as if to bow
in garbled words of paradise lost
I mumble hollow truths
to appease omniscient listeners
who know nothing but ideal fears
admire and adore their perfect faults
escape/avoid/evade the drought
desiccated hope like dust is blown
out of your mouth and into my mind
dreams become fossils
molehills colossal
THE VEINS and blood drown down by sensational moments -- so medicinal, so medical; are no more unjoyously bullied of those vilest minds. And sipping on modern life; everything given is completely maniacal. When humanity escapes from rough history's decay; running from Life.
Running from headlines, running from complete madness: just where strove the droll god-beasts!
If one finger touched my hand by Love (i'm so sorry i forgot you -- let me catch you to speak) touching hair of your deep pool and smile-did love in other days (fill my heart with chemicals and like all strangeness must be abuse)
Like voices living a dance upon dead minds so now insecure and why, it is love and we can turn life around.
Is Life, stressed out.
