I wrote a thought
It sparkled a bit, but it wasn't much
It was about this dozen cloud caper I found myself in
The stars I couldn't see
And the rain I clutched like bleeding hearts
I hold my mirror with shaky hands...
Run faster after burning ashes
Clog my lungs with songbird sonnets
Poetry is the diamonds in the river
And laughter from timed spurts of reality
Left my fingerprints all over this mess
Distress signals!
My morse code had several STRessed syllables
I stay up sleeping most nights
Can't seem to fall awake
The walls are fake
So I peer out wishful windows with a haunted face
Tragedy's my favorite word....
In dark dreamscapes I can scream safe
Without a single face disturbed
Pardon my solemn sagas
I write epic poems of epileptic episodes
When left alone I take metronome steps towards home
But I'm lost 'cause
My compass rose won't blossom
Built a monochrome plaza where I house all my haves and have nots
And eat half thoughts
BACKWARDS...
Spinning dizzy dialogues
I dialed God's number and got her answering machine
But no answers.....
So I count down stars starting from infinity
It proved to be too much
The planets got jealous when the sun got moonstruck
Singing broken lullibies
Strung together with toungue depressers
DASHING DESPERATE
I'm a well wisher, wishing I was a well getter
But the lines on my palms spell never!
I've held together this long...
It was all...a cascading waterfall
Of afterthoughts and preconceptions....
A mask I wore... that I never asked for
(Sigh) I wanna know if the stars have stars
Because if not... the sky must be mighty dark for them
Yet we all wanna be one..
Dazed and confused....
.......I wonder if I'll sleep tonight
