ENLIGHTENING FEVER

JOURNAL #11

midnight's madness hails to a melancholy

night so very bleak

as that of sure fire suitors to the senses

capturing hearts of the world felt to be

weak

and conformists call this page pauper

a sugar coated freak

how so very bizarre it is

this hatchet of havoc I suddenly somehow

seem to wreak

caught in a whirlpool of boredom

I often write to whom I speak

and of whom I speak I use every tactic

of interlude

to promote my current mode of cheek

and I leave behind in the dark

a curtain of self made madness that others

for their maddened selves often seek

that of a new respect for the true writer's

tormented mind

a plateau on which to bow to one's final

peak...................
