The Convoluted Psychotic Mind

My thoughts today have ran away
A Chicken on a leash
Too far from paradise
We bend our heads and weep

Yesterday the sky was pink
We danced in the rays of the sun
Playing my guitar strumming on
A question distracts me

What is that inside my brain
Hiding from the whole world
A game of chance or chess
Convoluted psychotic mind
Sang a crazy song
Dancing on the edge of the world
Awaiting gravity's pull

Too many colors in my rainbow head
Screaming from the outside in
Realities a blur
Sleep for twenty hours or not for twenty days
Changed the light bulb over my head
A spider crawled down inside my hair
This is the inside of my mind
Convoluted stories written in shame
Laughing all the way home
Upside down and sideways

Psychotic they call it
Poisoned from deep sleep
Words as colors in gratitude
Can you hear the melody
Or has the chourus ripped your ear
Too many ways to all fall down

Locked up in a circus arena
No one sees the eyes
Pretty patches of buttercups lost in time
No holds barred gathering moss as it goes
A fortune written in stone for all eternity

Stranded in an Effervescent Void

Stranded in an Effervescent Void



Stranded

Dropped off and left in the void

A place filled with effervescing music

The kind that makes you scream

My ears,the horror!

Driving me mad

I hitchhike standing on a bubble thumb out

Waiting for someone comes along

Damn bubble burst

Damn the bubble busters

Dedicated as the are to rid the world

Of toxic words

Leap to another a group of balloons

Trying to transmogrify into new notes

To escape this maniacal place

The void making a banquet of everything entering

In the distance I see it's gaping mouth

Jumping from bubble to balloon as they froth up in unison

Turning shades of color

Tempting me with new songs

Terrible thoughts fill my head

Avoid the void!!

My thumb has turned fuchsia in it's frustration

This highway to hell getting hotter

Feeling my brain cells cooking,dying

Salvation it seems is not coming

Think think must be something...

Slowly as I feel a new nerve connection inside my brain

An idea arrives

As I close in on those gaping jaws

Acapella!!!

So raising my own voice

Inventing a new song the void has yet to hear

Sing sing!!

At the very moment that I thought to be consumed

The voids mouth closed

A larger burp of cosmic reality left in it's wake

Free at last my memory sets it's self to erase

To remember such a place detrimental to peace of mind

The alarm clock goes off, loudly playing it's own tune

Time to wake up the void gone with the day

Ubiquity and other Earth Bound Anomaly

Ubiquity and other Earth Bound Anomaly


Long work day
Boss angry and impatient
Yes sir be right there, need to get the files
Sitting on my desk, a bouquet of Impatiens
Beautifully arranged with rainbow colors
No note or card to see who sent it
Just another Earth bound anomaly
Among many
Started noticing things a few years ago
Repeating patterns showing up
It might be graffiti on a wall made to go unnoticed
I saw it the other day in a magazine
Then on some woman's shirt
En -blazed on some Harley
It's owner took a liking to me
Seemed ubiquitous, but the pattern followed his trail
Sometimes camouflaged inside another pattern
At the museum it was hidden in twelve paintings
One canvass drew my eyes instantly
It WAS the pattern
A map to some unknown place or mystery perhaps
The oldest one was from the sixteenth century
It too had an anomaly, though wasn't sure if it was Earth bound
A mysterious object in the sky
A man in the painting looking up at it pointing
The pattern I have spoke of before
I just KNOW if I could decipher the code
The meanings and means of it's origins
The key to both past and present
Even future events would be clear to me
Awed and amazing
I wonder if anyone else sees this
Do we dare
Are we ready
For the knowledge of all mankind
Ubiquity and other Earth Bound Anomalies
Do we need the answers
Aren't some mysteries best let be
If the book of fate broke the code
Would I be strong enough to read it
How about you?
Should it even be opened at all
You decide,
Tonight another task awaits,
I grow weary of it all
