Maundering

Feeling a little down
Pealing out the sound
Everyone else reels
Free verse seems the deal

Snap, snap, snap

Destroying the old myths
Climbing new zeniths

Silence steals my voice
Nowhere near to go
Rhyme is close behind
She’s a jealous muse

Demons ducking death
Deepens depression
Merry making mask
Muscling mania’s myth

Atop the zenith
The clouds roll below
Valleys, hills and plain
Seen through the sun’s shafts

Placating The Silent Demons

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 2 comments

We all have the space the mind simply sealed
Boarded up with nails waiting to be healed
Pain hidden by shock rush into my dreams
Wakened in cold sweat mouthing silent screams

Run away and play
Freak another day
Pop another pill
Fade today and chill

Flashing ashes burn
Trying to return
Breathe in deep then sigh
Lie to your God then cry
