Taking back a Disregarded Epiphany
I'm the disregarded poet A shepherd of woolless sheep My words don't rhyme Or fall in line, They punch holes through The barricades of society I often awake at night I don't know if I'm alive or dead Fighting off the sudden urge To set my mattress a flame You can't think of a word That surpasses desire Bound my girl to my wrists, don't speak of a thing That you might have missed. I've forgotten all of you already, Me and my queen will get higher Point us to the cosmos And set this hideous earth on fire
Sleeping Muse
A quiver Of lucid dream arrows Fire at will Just take me with you Tossing Turning Help me surrender Gently Madly Float me To your private cloud Gradually Rapidly Scream Like a Wild Cat Lucidly Dream of me Dreaming of you The maddest things With a smile so heavy Awake with me Under the night sky Lets share a bowl of noodles And paint each other Into the surroundings
