The Bird With Vertigo

It’s too high, far too high, I cannot look down at the floor’
Said the bird who realised she suffered from vertigo
‘But it’s only a bird bath’ this really is too silly
Said her impatient friend, who by now was rather chilly.

‘Why me, why me? I can’t believe it’s happened to me!’
Said the bird to her friend,

Vertigo

Drifting with the tide 
logic crashes as waves burst,
swept by vertigo.

Vertigo

She was yer postcard type of witch
Long black cloak and red striped hose
Pointy hat and straggly raggly hair
Even wart of requisite size on nose
Miaowly cat of evil demeanour
Balanced there on her broom
With a certain air of sang froid
As she steered around the room

But eye of toad and tongue of newt
Plus any spell known just couldn’t

Vertigo

Niagara Falls must have vertigo
It keeps falling every day just for show
Wants attention I guess
An ego hard to suppress 
Must say it's pretty damn impressive though

Vertigo On the Mountain Top

I grasp the safety rail
and admire the view.
Beneath ancient cliffs 
of grey and gold, 
a sea of trees swell 
into the blue white mist.
The cold wind presses me
with love of the depths;
I feel like a bird
in the light open air, 
above clean space,
It would not hurt if I fell...

Love's Vertigo

Love's vertigo


Outside snow is falling, no leaves left on the trees
but inside there's a heat, that brings me to my knees
Trapped inside the vertigo, as lovers rise and fall
Isn't dizzy desire the answer, whenever romance calls?

Vertigo In the Abyss

God, what is infinite mercy?
God, what is Love? 
God, forgiveness for what?
Fear not for God is with thee…
God, if you are with me I can’t see you.
I feel safe when I can see who is with me.
God I am so alone and afraid. How can I fear not?
God, I am falling blind in a dark

Vertigo

Experiencing vertigo since waking today
A strange phenomenon, is my brain in decay?
Still alert am I
Two plus two is five
Oops, perhaps I should see a doctor without delay

Painting In Vertigo

Somedays, I wake up and my mind is a buzz with the low hum of drunk bees. Other days it's the homicidal scree of the Purge siren meets the absurdity of Happy Gilmore. Those days, the mood stabilizers taste like tic tacs dipped in acid and it spills out of my gaping mouth into my

Vertigo Eyes

Standing at the precipice of hope,
these retinal denials
gazed into the misty, crystal waterfall

I had no secure peer of rappelling rope
tied to a waste modesty lifestyle
Unsure of the plunge into the pulsing roar of the call 

Survivor guilt
from a recent whirlwind
passion tilt,
left me dashed upon the rocks of despair

Jagged pining pierced my pulmonary fears,
vulnerable tears 
tossed

Vertigo

Thoughts spinning around
Feel the shifting grounds


Fuzzy feelings crash
In a churning flash


Strange vertigo streams
In a flash of dreams


Sense makes no sense here
Clash of crazy spears


Round and round I go
Drowning in mad flow


Vertigo I see
Yield to what may be

Vertigo

If up is down up
Then down is up inside out
Someone close the door

Vertigo

The fiber of me
drawn into their sweep
up
away
and back again

my breath and bone
fused into wing

vertigo

when the doves
are circling.
