#lunacy
Today, my train of thought Is a bit off track. It's a dark and confusing smokestack. You see, questions abound. So buckle in as I go to town. Which cider you on? Apple or hard? If a tree falls on a copier And no one is around to see it, Does it make a forest? I'm rooting for yes; but quite unsure. How many coins can a fountain hold? I wish I knew. Is Paul dead or the walrus? Is Paul dead AND the walrus? Coo coo ca choo. What's the beef about red meat? It fills but kills? It sells but fells? Who knows! The proof is in the pudding. All other desserts are unsubstantiated, I suppose. If peanut butter leaves Los Angeles Traveling east at 100 miles per hour, And jelly leaves New York Traveling west twice as fast, Will they become a sandwich when they meet? What a treat if they did. Maybe one day these Universal questions will be solved. But for now, I'm quite dizzy From all the lunacy involved. Catch you later...

# I wrote that to you.. from the waiting room of my eye doctor but I didn't know it sent. I was grinding on my jeep Sunday and got a piece of metal in my eye the size of a farm tractor,     but all is well after this second visit  👀 A couple of reasons for the multiple accounts.. Originally started as my way of satiring the many people on the site that use multiple accounts to put likes and comments on their own work in order to make it trend.. or even make the 'daily'.. or to stroke themselves  with compliments so horrendously..  uh, dishonestly. But me being the battle-hardened, ******* nonconform that I am, the first time I commented on my own piece, my own account made fun of myself to such a degree..    it ended up in a fistfight-- But it was me..  just ******* up the whole trolling process. I always tell the ones that I care about  who all is 'me'. I also phase popular ones of mine  out         and replace them with new ones             if that one is getting too noticed on the site. That way I don't garner too many followers, which I believe quenches one's freedom that is lost within the  obligatory 'give and take' mindset that is a cancer  on this and so many other online writing sites. Vogel started talking to you when I was no longer scared of how quickly you got in with me. I talk like crazy when someone like you gets in to the inner-core of me so easily..  just by being the way that you are. The babbling provides a canopy of structure..  Love's structure. Strange, I know..  but I don't like being scared. Its a boundary-thing.. and there is so little about ones like you that even remotely slows down the process of getting in.. and   I'm-a..  uh.. "I'm a loner, Dottie.. a rebel.." ~Peewee Herman yeah.. that. The accounts keep me safe from the general public  by bringing pieces of me out, relationally onto the screen  as a way of providing for myself, the warm cover of love's structure--    me..  with me. All so very strange sounding, I'm sure. I really enjoy watching you, kid. I'm so sorry for bombing you with all those wordy messages when we met. Your unique heart, mind, and spirit are everything perfect in my eyes..  yes..  even with all of your current broken,  fragmented pieces. You were recently maybe under some form of a psyche-hold, which is probably where the psyche eval came from. Some in the mental health field care deeply..  many are just going through the motions-- originally thinking it was for them, and then finding out what the true cost of love really is,  before slinking back into a foot-shuffling process..   even as psychologists,   and often  even medical psychiatrists (prescribers)--     Who love to find a name for things so they can 'expertly'     enter into relationship with what now has a name,     rather than the deeply-hurting person. Everybody wants the **** beautiful-voiced girl who stands a very good chance of making her mark so well in this world. I would trade access to the 'best' part of it all with you,   just to have the chance to be with you,  for even 5 minutes   on that **** and tear-soaked, psyche room floor. That is where I want to be. My multiple "friends" keep me free.. unencumbered..  deeply-loved..   .. ready.   Broken-down, and pitch-black within the darkness of all its despair. That is where it is that I would trade all things for,     in order to be.. with you..  deep in to the very   r e a l   of  it  all.. if you ever fell down that temporarily far.

Something for the insomniacs, the maniacs, and the lunatics. Poetry about you and me, sleep and waking, life and death. This is to read when the sun rises and you're still awake, or when the stars are shrouded in clouds. This is for all of you who have yielded your sanity to the moon and felt the meaning of lunacy in your bones. I dedicate this collection of oddities to all of you oddities, may you read it and sleep.

A Dedication
Far across the water sits a little Chinese man, who has his own ideas of life's most desired plan. On the other side of the ocean is yet another guy, whose plan doesn't agree with a Chinese minds eye. Petty is their game but they just don't see it so, and so they push each other in a destructive to and fro'. Two school boys being bullies is the policy that they choose, Both belligerent and stubborn, both determined not to lose. Surely they must see that the other guy wont ever give in. Preferring total destruction over allowing the other guy to "win". They cant see that neither side will ever accept to give, Both intent to destroy it all than allow us all to live. All can see it coming but no one dares make a sound, until the mark of mankind's passing is just craters in the ground.

The Futures Market
I'm trailer trash And you're the tattered wheels Run me over Vilipended shrew This place is full of Rabid raccoons And collect calls Someone's got to pay Maybe we can milk A cash cow Or plant a money tree Between grandma And the shed A game of miniature golf Always helps my mind Get back on par (More or less) Then it's back to the bus stop And be done with you

Degree of Lunacy
I went crazy I did feral little dances I acted in ways most betraying of my previous social stance but there were others a multitude it was the fault of the moon we are weak and... Mr. Moon The Whey-faced Satellite has drawn deck of our cowered population on this full beaming night this Friday the anaemic loon quaker is a menace it lugs hard on the minds most creative it moulds imagination and felonious thought where previous their dwelled only a shopping list it skims hostile cream from the fragile and kissed wetter still the most eager berserker a dance of madness tups open the houses pucks at our activities plucks strings that fire our kinetic clatter and scuppers any will to resist Human species take the streets in corrosive numbers A Party like this shall make a dent A Party like this shall be a fist in Our Story Hosted by the Moon here I am in the mix prancing like some zany goof

Friday Night / Full Moon
Insatiable insanity, left wing, right foot, home. Rectangular, triangular, incapably prone. Unable stigmatically, invariably drone. Whimsical fanatical, address unknown Sounds can describe the words they convey. Tranquil decisions can blur, but do they. Utter a word to see what you say, say what you see, then be what you may. Describe it in detail, exhale every verb, catch yourself, let yourself grade on a curve. But don’t strain your brain, if it doesn’t make sense, just take it all in, come down off your fence.

Utter Lunacy
I seek what I’ve learned but failed to understand Celebrating this nothingness, oblivious to my heart Expectation creates pressure that elevates my fear Reality sets me free or so they made me believe I walk along this thread, no ends on both sides Balancing this lunacy with outbreaks so calm I carry these words, no longer they are mine What more can I do, to make them satisfied

As I sit Under the lunatic light of the full moon Of the blood-red lights of the moon Full of wild passions The lustful beast stirs again And starts running and running Howling at the moon Riding into the new dawn On a demented Harley Davis cycle With two naked babes on his back Riding into the sun 90 miles per second At the speed of thought He disappears into the lunatic light Of the full moon And I wake up Alone in my bed Saying, man, that was quite a night I better not go there again The wild beast Laughs He has heard that before And I join The beast In howling at the Moon

Lunatic Howling at the Moon
I stood outside Between the trees In a field On the outside of town Beneath the lunatic rays Of the blood red full moon The lunatic lights of the moon Casts a wild primeval glow On me The hormonal chemicals are unleashed The wild beast within Escapes it chain And I howl with delight A werewolf Free at last To run amuck Free of its civilized restrains Throwing off its clothes Stripping naked Running wild Naked and free A wild man Enjoying his freedom

Howling at the Moon
The sky is so blue, yet so very sorrowful, Here in my prison, these thoughts just won't fade, Exiled from a holy world into a lonesome, somber lunacy, This painful day, the dream of a better, hopeful tomorrow, Are truly the light of my fading consciousness in this hell, So I went to count the days till judgement deems me pure again, until I may become whole once more from these broken shards of the past, Budding sprouts begin to bloom quietly, as the timeless seasons rush by and vanish into the bittersweet remembrance of ones memories, "Stay, even if you're weak, dear conscious" I wispered to myself as then my tired eyes got distracted for a brief moment, Time already had come to an inevitable halt, so at least my pocketwatch told me after letting out one last, delicate ticking sound, With that, the phantoms of my past had laid down to rest, as the coming dawn greeted me by displaying the fading stars of the sky, This is truly a repeated tale I endure in this pitiful isolation, But if my painful past were to be erased, the last brilliance of my life would be deemed lost, for the darkest moments truly are a gift from above, helping us to determine moments of joy, bliss and purest love, So I hope that one day, this body of mine will swift into prayers, hopefully in the beauty of an unclouded light, filled with moonlight, Maybe then, I can finally move on, leave this lunacy far behind me, Deep inside these puzzled eyes give me courage, Despite being sealed away I shall discard everything and challenge this unmerciful fate of mine, Then I can reach that sky, where my ideals are displayed, Surely freedom awaits the border of consciousness, at least I hope, Love blooms on the waters surface, filled with countless tears And with this newfound freedom I can withdraw myself in this wonderful, pure holy world I waited for so long! Despite it being distant a fantasy, I dream of a hopeful tomorrow, Here, in my exile. ~ Umi

Exile: A Wishful Fantasy
The sky is so blue, yet so very sorrowful, Here in my prison, these thoughts just won't fade, Exiled from a holy world into a lonesome, somber lunacy, This painful day, the dream of a better, hopeful tomorrow, Are truly the light of my fading consciousness in this hell, So I went to count the days till judgement deems me pure again, until I may become whole once more from these broken shards of the past, Budding sprouts begin to bloom quietly, as the timeless seasons rush by and vanish into the bittersweet remembrance of ones memories, "Stay, even if you're weak, dear conscious" I wispered to myself as then my tired eyes got distracted for a brief moment, Time already had come to an inevitable halt, so at least my pocketwatch told me after letting out one last, delicate ticking sound, With that, the phantoms of my past had laid down to rest, as the coming dawn greeted me by displaying the fading stars of the sky, This is truly a repeated tale I endure in this pitiful isolation, But if my painful past were to be erased, the last brilliance of my life would be deemed lost, for the darkest moments truly are a gift from above, helping us to determine moments of joy, bliss and purest love, So I hope that one day, this body of mine will swift into prayers, hopefully in the beauty of an unclouded light, filled with moonlight, Maybe then, I can finally move on, leave this lunacy far behind me, Deep inside these puzzled eyes give me courage, Despite being sealed away I shall discard everything and challenge this unmerciful fate of mine, Then I can reach that sky, where my ideals are displayed, Surely freedom awaits the border of consciousness, at least I hope, Love blooms on the waters surface, filled with countless tears And with this newfound freedom I can withdraw myself in this wonderful, pure holy world I waited for so long!

I can’t see their anger. I can’t taste their rottenness. I can’t smell their stench. I can’t hear their screams. I can’t feel their stones. I’ve grown cold of this world. Shutting out all the lunacy by looking into myself. And I’m content, calm, ready. They can’t scare me anymore. I’ve sent my fears to the gallows.

My mug of tea
I saw two faces in the moon tonight A lady smiling at me, with delight I saw the face of a whimsical man, It looked like it’d been carved out wood With brows so arched he’d be holding his belly from laughter if he could I saw two faces in the moon tonight I looked in the mirror and asked myself “Are you alright?” I felt a warmth, from head to toe My heart the most The moon hanging low I left my bedroom window, curtains open wide I went to the beach to see Her bright So low in the faraway sky Turned the littered sand a smooth hue of white The timid ocean beside the sand of sparkling silver The presence of the moon in the harvest sky Caused my spine to shiver I muttered all my wishes with a sigh My eyes must have sparkled glitter With the moon watching over me, I was understood, protected, loved The moon was low among the sky And I was on an elevator towards heaven Moonshine high

Lunacy
They tell me the fires are not real That the sparks sprinkling my veins does not exist That I am just imagining the insanity in my own world They reprimand the way I stare as I glare into the devils eyes As I demand the devil to stop shouting my sins and the ways I have lied They scream with "it is all in your head" as smoke rolls from their eyes All I want to roar back is that they can't shout sanity into insanity But I can't And with that I glance down looking at the way hell opens up and snatches me into the ground

Sane to the Insanity
The city of lunatics Awake Snatching semicolons Left on pavements Of incomplete poems Over mouths pregnant with scattered letters Wrapping singed skin In dots and full stops With loveless chokes writ on their faces Lost in bruised Sleep

Semicolons
Your eyes, their photo booth blinks, are filed PDF's behind my prefrontal cortex. Parachuting to the moon, where the gravity god is mortal, my stimuli float in a sensory deprivation tank. I practice wearing my isolation blindfold, allowing all other senses to eat its portion, SO in time IT fades. I close my trained eyes in the warm water and Epsom salts, my desolate tank of solitude, And we are holding hands naked, floating in your Dead Sea.

It's Luna, See
Time is moving In a stream of wonderous murderous intending, sacrificing sadness, My ****** devotion, ought to shed blood in a distorted dark was but an perishable spring dream, looping without an end through nights, On sleepless nights, the ghosts of the past gets stuck within a river of pure thoughts, a lake birthing memories in secret, subsconsciously, Discard your common sense, sacrifice your sanity for just this second, When the moon stands high in the sky, a bonfire seals the nights start To its creeping shadows, they do not crackor sparkle under the twinkling stars of this celestial ceiling of pure majesty for nyctophiles, Even our natural satelite agrees, dying itself into a lunatic scarlet red, Darkness upon darkness, with layers of shadows overlapping one another as the light begins to dim, thanks to the disappearing moon, An imaginated landscape, created from only pure rage and fury, But whereabouts of the heart, are likely to be lost to the thought of love I carry within a broken chest of treasury, losing all emotions, Even if my scarlet eyes were to be losing their ability yet to see, I would be able to count on you to guide me, through the everlasting, The dream I awoken from, was a moonlit night turning crimson, losing its radiance through the soft eclipse of the moon, gently, slowly But you were there, within the far away landscape drawn in my heart ~ Umi

Overlapping Time
Dear life, what is it that makes you take on a journey which always leads towards an unavoidable, devestating yet resenting death ? Since I cannot understand it fully I wander upon this world without finding any clear answers to satisfy the curiousity my heart bears. In the realm of dreams I find rest, as my mind engages into this illusion and frees me from this reality for as long as my body pleases. Awakened by loitering darkness, these questions are repeating themselves on a path of recurrance, without decreasing in strengh. As my breath dies while feeling the agony, flames of hatred are seeping through my fragile, delicate existence, giving energy. Rumbling, boiling in sadness I tell myself that anyone's forgiveness is not neccesary, losing control over this riot of pure fury without heart. Looking back a thousand times, it remains as my very best choice. Letting these emotions race, rage and rampage uncontrollably Whilst losing ones self within a lunatic laughter to release pressure I cannot stop these tears, pitying the past long gone rolling down my cheeks, moistening the very soil I am growing on, as a pure lily Until the moment comes in which my body exhausts itself and allows me to enter the world of dreams, where despair fades into happiness. Until the sun rises once again ~ Umi

Pure Lunacy
Standing on the edge to a sea of pure lunacy this lily blooms, Her scars, she wishes them not to fade but to shed more blood, Corrupted by the world around her, which took what she held dear, The only wish to seek revenge she blooms while sympathising with fury and hatred thicker than the spreading of the darkness of night, A murderous intent, likely energetic enough to break through the ground to get what her desires tell her she needs so dearly, Getting rid of everything, the love within her hurting chest, so she'd eventually awaken as this distorted image of what was once pure, Her enemies shall try to escape while observing their dying moments, Laughing at them whilst watching how they are ruined in seconds, Throbbing in the dark, the figure of hatred wriggles in moonlight, Lonely the soul resented by life, keeps up her riot for once more, In bloodlust and vengence for her own reflection cast on the water, Deep within her, a crying, broken, yet flickering light calls for help, If forgiveness could be served, her wounds would heal and she would be able to be herself again, free without any grief or sorrow, Maybe then, she will even be able to feel love again. ~ Umi
