Dedicated to my sister and her loved family. Also to the poets of emotion, that feel the words way too much. WARNING: Must be read in its entirety.

ROUGH DRAFT MISTAKES MAY BE THERE

Morbid crystalline castles
With piercing penetrations of subsonic tones
Creating infrasonic vibrations
Chiming those within into madness

Incarcerating dreams in pristine states
Where controlled thought is channeled
To be misdirected into total obscureness

Ghostly expressions of gloom deprived
Ambiguous darkness conquered
Implied beauty held captive

Vague direction to places in eerie mists
Stagnant waters placid in meaning
Damp mold evading the light of purity
Obscure smells with obscure sources

Enigmatic trees reaching everywhere
Hands creeping in the darkness
For a place to hide under
To take to root
For fearing to climb

Cryptic speech mystifying reason
Sounds spoken better backwards
Bleached dark words full of vacuums
Ambiguous signs going in circles

Frustrating moody emotions
Driven underground in submission
Tormenting hints of an answer
That begins as started
Deprived into confusion

Crystal house in pristine beauty
Colored lights in bouncing warmth
Mirrored walls reflexing
Hugs on to the emotions
Free to explore the relationships
Of pleasures going wild

Trees gardening flowers
In aromatic splendor
That perfumes cannot capture the innocence
Of a child playing with grown eyes
Merry-go-rounding with the unicorns
Of their imagination s

Decaying doom is swept away
In waves and waves of climaxes
Where the mind circles in new thoughts
Blessed with the creativity
To imagine your own empire
In ever renewing depth

Revival of nature�s baptisms of rebirth
In the rapture of the deep inner self
Creating the euphoria to change
The negative emotions
Into the waterfalls of exhilaration
Into the spiraling heights
Of your own intimate strengths

Dreams of flight overseeing our fantasies
Of sexuality fulfilled caresses that
Finds its way into the soul
In the rhythm of nerve endings
Screaming for more and more
Rising to the heavens of darkness
Exploding in the fireworks
That will shower us for more
And more into the most gentle sleep
That hugs us into smiles

Magical words will create the music
That lay stagnant in us
In the innocent sound of the wind
Brushing our skin to feel
The harmony that lay unclaimed
Will spigot on us
To flow in the currents of notes
Of the years of frustration

Enigmatic life of darkness gone light
Will not obscure the paths
That has been covered dark
For the inferno within us
Will keep the flames from turning inward
Into abysses of total chaos
For the aspirations to be fulfilled
Will renew the trump to succeed

For those that read this to become indifferent
This leads to words being neutralized
Acidity based neutral
From depression to exultation
To endless cycles of water recycling
End the suffering now
Do not read on in the hope
These words can change things

For in my negativity
Hope must not be neutralized
Fireworks must explode us into creativity
The inferno of doubt must be put to sleep
And the creation of music must overcome
The prison of me being afraid
To express myself to those that love
In that special way
That it must end in something
Called creative compassionate humanity
Creating a hug on life
