[hometext] => I wrote this in a manic state one night. Everything I write is very vocal, so I'm never sure how it translates when written. But this one especially is heavy on accented delivery. But I decided to post it anyways.....
[bodytext] => I wrote a thought It sparkled a bit, but it wasn't much It was about this dozen cloud caper I found myself in The stars I couldn't see And the rain I clutched like bleeding hearts I hold my mirror with shaky hands... Run faster after burning ashes Clog my lungs with songbird sonnets Poetry is the diamonds in the river And laughter from timed spurts of reality Left my fingerprints all over this mess Distress signals! My morse code had several STRessed syllables I stay up sleeping most nights Can't seem to fall awake The walls are fake So I peer out wishful windows with a haunted face Tragedy's my favorite word.... In dark dreamscapes I can scream safe Without a single face disturbed Pardon my solemn sagas I write epic poems of epileptic episodes When left alone I take metronome steps towards home But I'm lost 'cause My compass rose won't blossom Built a monochrome plaza where I house all my haves and have nots And eat half thoughts BACKWARDS... Spinning dizzy dialogues I dialed God's number and got her answering machine But no answers..... So I count down stars starting from infinity It proved to be too much The planets got jealous when the sun got moonstruck Singing broken lullibies Strung together with toungue depressers DASHING DESPERATE I'm a well wisher, wishing I was a well getter But the lines on my palms spell never! I've held together this long... It was all...a cascading waterfall Of afterthoughts and preconceptions.... A mask I wore... that I never asked for (Sigh) I wanna know if the stars have stars Because if not... the sky must be mighty dark for them Yet we all wanna be one.. Dazed and confused.... .......I wonder if I'll sleep tonight [comments] => 0 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 73 [informant] => shade [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )
