Insanity Explained
Insanity
Is more rational
Than i thought
Its almost calm
Like coming home
Or maybe
Its the eye of the storm
Maybe the real crazyness is to come
The dam i built over 5 years of work
Sprung a leak tonight
Toppled me over the inevitable edge
And i cant fight no more
The leak will get bigger and bigger
And no little dutch boy to stick his finger in the dyke
To stop the flow of memories, feelings and mass hysteria
They say talking to me is like trying to get blood from a stone
But is that any wonder when my eyes have seen what they have?
More demons and evils than you could possibly endure
But i did it....yeah i did it
And they say im strong
But i dont believe them
Coz if i was strong
How comes
The dam
Leaks?

Wrecked Humanity Explained
never broken
but a few times wrecked
is all part of
the landscape of living
expect a few ugly detours
what happens to us
matters little
it's our reaction to whatever it is
that matters more
even the experience of utter hell
gives the learning soul
more traction on its evolution
is just terribly hard
for the tortured mind
to wrap itself around
ere
to understand
but a broader purpose does
gradually form
and you arrive on the
other side of advancing age
broadly looking back
you are worn but thankful
for the self wars you waged
to make you the man you
were meant to be
hence that remarkable adage of
'That Which Does Not Kill Us
Only Succeeds To Make Us Stronger'
and here now today
reading as I am, your painful words
I must say I whole heartily agree
at the beauty you rendered
from all that obvious pain
beautiful poem
you've written here indeed
must be the soul
sorting out the ugly
to make some lovely sense
with all the left over need.................
