Azure mixed with red
Wine stains ripple the oceans -
Black pen shining through
Had there been a pipe *****
Where the melancholia sits
It would have played
Instead
It felt glass between its teeth
And grasped
The hairs in its head
Danced within
The room of the dead
Shadows friendly, alive with dread
While vultures laughed
Kicking away
The offal, the bread
They wanted
its bones to pick
Instead
Oh no, wanderlust!
You have broadened into space -
I can't afford that.
So much to put down words come so fast they miss the page. Fingers fly to record overwhelming inspirations stalled mid stroke, concepts lacking a voice fall short of their purpose. An onset of perspectives require clarity and eloquence. With no existence other than silent sparks of thought, no value or construct, fleeting points of wisdom seem lacking. Efforts aren't taken or even considered. So full of insight unwittingly led to expression meets a void so consuming all hopes for preservation of thought disintegrate. Then existence never allowed to form so far gone only now recorded, yet existing in limbo--trapped for the period of space concurrently existing in the vacuum of my conscious mind.
