Eternity of moments and infinity in seconds
Reality of scale with unearthly dimensions beckons
Millisecond memories last for time immemorial
Each minute an eternity and existing not at all
My wild floating neurons leap through the playground of space-time
A nodal universe I swim through with a reasonless rhyme
Depression+anxiety+6 months of quarantine without work or school+significant inebriation=a very interesting perception of time
Norman Crane Sep 2020
Once upon a tiny planet,
a hunter and his rifle stalked their prey,
It always got away,
  until the day he fired—
Dropping dead,
with a bullet in the back of his head.
Attempt at microfictional poetry: a few lines and rhymes telling a story. This one's scifi.

Rip the saintly halo
From above your hallowed brow
To see how it obscured
A deep satanic vow
As through your skull are sprouted
                   Two twisted bony horns:
A rose no more disgracing
A beautiful stem of thorns

2AM. Anxiety rings
Insomnia with it, it brings
I wish to sleep, close my beaten
Eyes. My thoughts quieten, Retreat in
To the place where I no longer have to think
All the experiences of today and my past interlink
My subconscious taking over with pictures they slink
down into dreamworld I hope I'd go This time I think
But unfortunately, That's not the way it is.
So I lie awake in my bed.
Thoughts
Rushing
around
in my
head

This is getting ridiculous.... This is the 4th night in the row where I can't sleep...... 4th night in a row of 3 hours sleep... I just... want some unassisted sleep please....

I must precipitate their pain;
When I pass,
their faces close like shutters before the rain.

and one day the world will end
a winding road
missing its final bend

every day
in the mirror i see
what looks a little more
like me
Guinevere Aug 2020
The breeze carries my thoughts away before i write them down
The trees and the berry bushes contrast with the clouds
Their roots firmly planted, still one with the ground
Surrounding my body, the thoughts rotate around
I am the trees but they are the clouds
Leaves fall, branches extend, extrapolating my woes.
Thistles in a rosebush ***** my fingers, the droplets of my blood match the red of the roses.
Like a beautiful psychosis.
Enchanting but dangerous, i cherish thorns and roses
Pain is my muse, like music infused with the ghost of my past,
It strengthened yet healed my fatal necrosis
Everlasting words haunt me, a faint shadow's imprint on the yellowing grass.
I cannot see growth without a ruler to measure
Embellishing my struggle for pleasure because the truth is unbearable
Yet my lies burn my skin, ensnaring my essence like sweet smelling ether
Entrancing but terrible.

every tear
creates two rhymes
here and there

morning hawk shrieks
awakening the goldensphere
arise heatmaker
evaporator of dewmist and frost
evoker of see rays
energizer of the scuttleprey
but beak waves impact the falling spray
in rainy day are lost
this day goldensphere will stay
adoze on her horizon home
meadow hush
cloud down begrace her sparkleface
comfortably monochrome
