"The quiet insane"

edited April 2004 in Poetry, Prose, Music & Art
tourtued references
to pulling teeth
my mouth is rotten
enough to speak
of the prophets words to me
about how everything will be
the same for you and me
the inocence of a child
was lost upon me
pulled out by the root
no anastetic, I am pethetic
dont anser my calls
cross me off your list
I've driven too long on icy roads to try to resist
sliped right past
only to be there again
I've taken on
the writers pen
My mouth is drained
about to spew
leaking the juices
that create something new
in to my mask
hardened to my face
made to last
in good grace
Always I walk
I'll go round and round
looking down at the same blood soaked ground
I wear this crown
a citizens head
from the town
of the dead
Mommy help me!
I lost my balloon
a thousand days
is too soon
Alive in the shambles
of this bed
the sound of the murder
still rings in my head
Someone soposes, thats why I'm hear
if pleasure is pain
then you need to steer
unlawful asembly
in my brain
drives me to calmness
the quiet insane

    the innocence of a child may have been lost to you, but the heart of a man is what you have gained and a thousand pink balloons to orbit us with.

    very you.

    you.
    "and then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small cafe in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong in the world all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right and no one had to get nailed to anything. Sadly, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible stupid catastrophe occurred, and the idea was lost forever."

    "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
    It was a dream, not a nightmare. A beautiful dream I could never imagined in a thousand nods. I saw this girl next to me, she wasn't beautiful until she smiled. And I felt that smile come at me in heat waves following. Soaking through my body and out my finger tips in shafts of color. And I knew somewhere in the world, somewhere, that there was love for me.

    A lot tighter than some of the other stuff I've seen, I don't cruise the boards as much anymore but it's a certainty that you are improving and this is by far the best one I've seen from you yet
