Subject: So Short A Life

So Short A Life

One:
I come
for inspiration
nearly drinking in
the red scented candle
reminds me of Christmas
and all the things
that have gone
awry in so short
a life

I see a light shadow
out of the corner
in the corner
near the closet
where all good
spirits hide

Two:
The bizarre nature
of this electroland
never ceases to amaze
and amuse me

No bite, no bait
I echo my own
words
within the maze
of walkaday world

Insanity, a view to take
hold at midnight, nearer
nesting place

Three:
I like the rain
and lightning
we don't get
I need a flash flood
to wash out
the grey
puke green
and putrid yellow
that lingers
long after
the madman
has been eradicated

Is a madman ever
eradicated from veins
spliced open
once too often?
Hell, even once was too much

Four:
I walk
talk and breathe
cry laugh scream
all at once
entertain
a child who wonders
with worry
over Mommy
and her own future

Five:
The beach, clean and crisp
held tense
moments
with each wave
crashing
taking

leaving nothing

Six:
This isn't a poem;
just more journal
someone someday
will think to decipher
