Beneath the Surface

I love to flirt and dance with suicide

Counting death, as if I’ve already died

It’s a fantasy date with destiny

The thrill of that last and final ride….

 

I’ve gone over the edge… I think

Into a melancholy void I sink

Where flights of imagination take over

Memories and projections, with no apparent link …

 

Do I long for the end? Sure…

But allas, there is no cure …

Death being but a transitional doorway

Into another state, not necessarily pure…

 

I cannot shed this sadness

Nor it’s selfendulgent madness

Its all adding up to imbecility

And an attitude of crassness!

 

Ah! More time spent in morbid revery

Emotional Back-sliding and mental mortality

But never you mind!

The worst catalyst is any sympathy ….
