The Poolside Mermaid

I met her at the ocean of the neighborhood

Thinking very bad about an appearance so good

Swimming around in shallow chlorine

Fins of elegance floating in a liquid cuisine

Purified perfections provided

Preferably by peaceful premonitions

These premonitions despite being picture perfect

They are nothing more than dark clouds of imagination

That shouldn't even be worth it

The value of the clarity

Still damages my lonely reality

Beach side sitting in the sand

Building castle walls that surround my ugly shackled feet

Looking from a far

As the brown skinned Ariel

Walks on water with new legs

Side by side with new prince

Of equal quality appearance

With another sign of pure loneliness becoming coherent

As I sink in the sand

Watching here presence drift away

All I can do is mourn

Because as the sand buries me into a grave

So did the mystique of the poolside mermaid

Rough, Rigid Plains

When does a good soul turn bad?

When does a happy face turn sad?

The new day is here, and still not glad?

What happened to your peace?

Why has that also deceased?

No need to rest in the west

Because your joy is still dead in the east

North Star is not far

To steer clear or the South Pole

Where hell is frozen over

One million degrees below

Transcend the path of necessary obstacles

Navigate through tough terrain

To make an honest living

In rough and rigid plains

Don't worry if it's not your estimated route

That is not what your plan should be about

If you erase that rain drought

There will no longer be a burden of doubt

Casting  over the treacherous clout

The Fear of Fantarsy

I'm afraid of my dreams

Because it doesn't keep my good spirit clean

I long for passionate and unholy affairs

But my eyes aren't strong

To withstand those devilish stares

Close encounters of the close and affectionate

Imaginative with the stroke of compassion

Feelings ignored to strike with loneliness

Destroyed hope is all there is for me to cope

Destiny maligned with no route to show

No fortune cookies to taste

No pot of gold, no rainbows

Let all the good fruit go to waste

Because the fear of fantasy

Keeps my mind from extracting

What the heart is constantly lacking

A casual sense of sensual intense

So much for self confidence

It died when my esteem

Said no to the love conference

I'm negative with the irregularities

Because I need the clout

To maintain the clarity

Moments of fear

Bring clearance to the ear

Coherence to the rear

Has strong influence on the ten senses that appear

Sight, Sound, Smell, Hear, Taste

Doubled when fantasizing

On the paths that I continue allow to go waste

Why can't things get better

I take dreams second by second, and letter by letter

Where does the fear come from?

Why does it exist?

I will never sleep

Until I completely understand that horrifying gist

Intercourse Sanctions Dream's Virginity

I'm free falling, heaven's no longer calling

The sins I've committed are beyond appalling

I dream every night without a good moment

Every vision that came became pain's atonement

I don't condone these premonitions

I don't clone my emotions

There can't be two of me in existence

Second guessing my first wishes

That set never came true

My life has been soiled

Time to do the dishes

Cleanse the spirit of dirty plates

My fork and spoons need the Ajax

Because times before with these I still ate

My intercourse sanctions sour grapes

I poured the wine through my dream's virginity

Til it no longer wakes

Dreams still remain reality's plate

Rolling on thin ice

With the sharpest of blades on ice skates

Drowning in frozen water

Baptized in ice

Anointed with another overtime dream

In the middle of hell's first quarter

These themes of dreams Reach peaks and plateaus above Earth Where the air is beyond deep

Sleeping as lung bursts out in flames

In order for my soul to keep
