Severed ties between the thinking being that was me
and the hopeless aspiration
perfect (broken) pristine vision that I wanted.
Starfallen tide-driven liquid-dreamwaters
that threw me in and churned me out
have left me with nothing but sand in my teeth
and a misguided hope for Love At First Sight.
Your suicide scars and your unsung poetic
'love's gone and went' tunes
they all miss the mark
and head straight for my throat.
Just about now the moon starts to roll in the sky
and the stratosphere shakes
and the waters of Wonderland
swell, and then into a wall
of some shimmerfluid brilliance
(beauty's in every tragedy,
raging)
and suddenly, there goes the world!
It's fallen off it's pedastal,
into the mortal universe,
down to the stone age,
back where the cries of death were reptillian.
We're plunged into a forever dark and hunted,
forgetful and neanderthalic view of what life is
- natural, the way it should be...
and there you'd stand,
in a loincloth and eyeliner,
laughing at my pick-up lines
and verbal forget-me-not sentiments.
