Mental Tripp
By: Toni Whisenant
Intensity restrained.
Deliberate intoxication.
Unity unchanged.
Back to dire frustrations.
Safely secured
In a blackened vault.
Thoughts unheard
Only begging to find fault.
Misdemeaning inactions
Cause consequence to shift.
Disabling reactions
Due to a paranoia trip.
Schizophrenia running rampant
In a close-encounter space.
Flying through the wind
Like an eagle finding face.
Goddess called upon
Unlike the uniformed common blessing.
Yet another is gone
Due to the unseen phantom lessening.
Back into a time warp trip,
Wishing with all dispair
To be part of this cosmo flip
Of the never-ending disrepair.
Reparations mounting
Taking the invisible to count
Agianst the dying ember
Of what our world is all about.
Alas, young teacher,
For knowing you do not.
Against the commonplace soldier
In a battle against the wrought.
Damned, unholy veterans
Causing this table turned to face.
The super mounting atrocity
Of this ever-liing race.
Time is meaningless
As far as we seem in ths dream.
Escape such a far-away place
From the realities by other means.
Endless delay of a subtle tranquility.
A calm more precious than gold.
A sleep at most severe in serenity.
And the sweetest memories of old.
Again and again the water falls
Over the rocks of Mother Earth.
The beautiful sound of hypnotizing calls
And the calming sense to search.
Trust another not to mock,
Against the common thread.
Piece apart the fearless lock
Of what isdone and said.
Again and again the screaming fails
As my voice is simply cut short
From the drastic escape from all my ails
And the gain of some ungodly court.
Back again, I come to face
The entrancing song of life.
A single small tear tries to trace
The stories of my knife.
The one used to flee my hate
And my emotional rampages.
Never coming too late,
Insanity transferred to advanced stages.
Screaming still unheard,
Thoughts infiltrating my dreams.
I know it sounds absurd
But I'm ripping at the seams.
Coming out of my panic,
I rearrange my mind,
Hoping to create havoc
From the unseen kind.
My illnesses come to pass
As I slow down from my time-warp flip.
Intensity falling fast
As I come out of my mental tripp.
