Digging underground Found the diamond Lost In the crowd Soundly speaking on the floor Beaten badly wanting more Bruises Delirious about the uselessness Of therapy and Sunday classes By the masses Childhood memories of running On a beach Sand between my toes Mechanics strange and Wired like gadgets Tickets on trains to seafoam Shores when December comes Beguiling smirk Gazing like a toddler in wonder At the said shutters of others Maybe in split-screens with Vivid color The lackluster utterings die At the sight Cat-eyed and wild Sighing like a child at coarse Trivial arrivals of those Suicidal yearnings resurfaced by Days-break Dysfigured in space as shapeless As the speech that defined it Butterfly darlings my Coat flowing on the windless air As a cocoon I'm enveloped in Bed by many toppled books to Beseech in disparity at all the Shared pairs I erased Like tickled bruises all sunken and Hopeless in keeping up with The moment Gloves stitched Kerosene patched dribbled Against sunscreen Tired-awake unable to sleep Fascinated with miracles and the Shadows in sight Dismissed while in a crisis that Felt steep in the night of one's Soul A tourniquet strapped around My elbow in the cold snow What's the criteria for the Mentally unsuitable We are preachers, poets, wives With ribbons in our hair Cradled in hate Dissipated softly only to Awaken with grim morning After morning Dark-days of chaos-tripping Laid flat on my stomach-ache Removed by time like an Hourglass state of mind Written on my ******* Glamorous sheen caught deep Within the recessions of my Brain Unseen and I imagine I am that firefly caught in the Glass container Blue as lapis lazuli Blue as the livor mortis after Suffocating
A poem about the limiting effects of manic-depression and moodswings; An untelling about over-reading, and the rampant intellectualism that leaves you without answers.
