TRAPPED IN DEATH SCENES

Folder: 
MEANDERTHAL MAN

 

Trapped in death scenes

while screaming for a love

     to find me

   as I float

thru the melancholic music

of Bosch’s picture vitrola.

 

I stumble along the obscene path

     of madness

cursing the blossoming roses

     that never have 

the time of day for me

and laugh as I wallow

in a darkness of despair.

 

I can forgive the madness

     of the fallen night

sullied by desolation

   but I wonder

if I’ll ever be able to forget.

I'd Be Afraid

To look at what I wrote at 21. The world view was soooooo different :D

I find it interesting because

I find it interesting because I try to remember my state of mind and what I was thinking when I wrote it.  Of course my perspective is very different.  I wasn't paying attention but I managed to get old.
