 ~REFLECTING MOMENTS~

MENTAL COMBAT  






Sometimes they show themselves
-a gathering of souls-

the mean and angry ones-
or the hunters

I am hunted
I am haunted

Sometimes...

Mirrors of belief
and lies hide the truth

We find:
sanctity
menstruation
virginity
humans
within these hidden doorways

And sometimes:

We make way and wipe those floors
that have had a million footfalls
traced thru bone dust of the dead
and blood stains of self inflicted

I gravitate toward these spirits
that radiate the color of humbled
and whom cling to the tree of life

Unfortunately,  they are hard to find

Sometimes,  these words are so heavy
I taste their dark depths and vacancy
the weight of this inner madness rips
thru my esophagus and bleeds hysteria

I need to smooth these edges
so I cannot be lacerated anymore
by my sharp witty conversation
with myself- lol

I'd cut out my tongue
if there was no use
but I know it will come to good use
meanwhile,  I resurrect a file-

My manuscripts have less filing
then my split mood swings

Craving/humility

OK,  OK lets rap this baby up,

Hand me that string, can you?
so I may suture my velvet mouth
with a corset zipper so gently
where I can have easy access

Before more ridiculous
spills out...

Shh I hear what your thinking!!

Your voices travel and blend
into the seams and fabric of my city
swaying my reactions with every curse
I read your scrambled conversations

We all suffer some type of imperfection
as you most likely have observed
do I know you?

Balance/reality

Welcome doormat: brainsick
you are about to cross
into the fun house

Suffering/torment

Welcome home my children
I have you missed you...

The rule of my establishment!

Deflate your egos upon my doorstep
and enter at your own risk
remove all metal and laces

Play nice and...

Leave all weapons with the guards
bring me respect and pucker up. lol
