• Sanguine

    These written words of pages plied
    My linguistic tools on which I rely
    Are all my drug to keep me sane
    They pause the world and numb the brain
    My reckless pen scrawls gibberish
    Thoughts radiant in design
    A mystery to the world
    Conceptions I divine
    Through negligence of sound regard
    I repeat my ill mistakes
    Fix these holes that leak the truth
    Fix my constant aches
    These problems seem to cultivate
    They multiply for sure
    Not long now
    I have my fix
    For now I must endure
    Leaden lids slip down my eyes
    Torments call with nights disguise
    I pry apart my brittle mind
    Rummage through my hidden core
    Expose these secrets long confined
    The answers I’ve been waiting for
    But sanguine skies spell journey’s end
    To join my body as I ascend
    Through veils of clouds like silken sheets
    They arrest my soul and stop advance
    Memories I can’t repeat or chance
    Uncertain breaths bring stable ground
    Leaving shreds of thoughts profound
    I see now on conscious plane
    This drug has me lock and chain
