Overdose of stimuli
Parade of light in the sky
Music falls, silence
The mer-men raise their tridents
-in the air
Selene wailed, in her cot
-the velvet bare
The diamonds flown and caught.
Drop your miniature bombs
On Marys and Toms.
Like school-boys, pulling your school-girls' hair.
Flirt with death, dance a desperate dare.
Douse Hell-fire in hemlock wine.
You're blind with opium's ditsy shine.
Wake and sadly find, the stars -still 'live.

Just a quick-write, hope you liked it.
