Deluge

Updated on October 5, 2013

"No one ever discovered anything new by coloring inside the lines"

-Thomas Vasquez

Source


Tidal wave rolling, roaring toward me

Silencing my challenging scream

I do not run from the sable shouldered crest

Higher than my head and blacker than willful ignorance

A Muses’ lifetime of ink

Pouring and smothering all that is waiting

Pages blank and yearning

For the tip of the quills pressure

Like a trespassing phallus

Desecrating the purity of the paper

Pushing beyond the acceptable boundaries

Of my existences refuge

Intent to fill the core of my dwelling

My being, my imagination

Engulfing all that is empty

White bleeds into indigo black

Staining my reams, occupying my blank spaces

My senses, my logic

Tumbling me upside down

And washing down my throat, my nostrils

My soul, my ego

Drowning me in the congealing blood

Of verse and testament

Rhyme and writ

Hardening under the laws of nature

Charging that there is no original thought

That there is "no new thing under the sun"

Therefore I surrender to the current

And meld with its script

Seeping through the fissures of

The defective deducing

Of the scribe inquisitors minds

And burst through the hatches

Flowing toward my brains creation

To the very edge of the Earth

Where I grasp the rim of its flat surface

Flat because I say it is flat

Flat because in this writing

I am the law, I am the originator

I am the creator

It is my pencils lead, my keystroke that says

“Let there be light”

I am the one who says

“Once upon a time” and “The End”

But then what can lie between those lines

That will not be a scab that has already been picked

My answer lies beyond this rim that I grasp

This out of bounds marker of acceptance

And the “no original thought” theory lies

In the wet ebony wake behind me

Questioning me as I let go

My answer is the wind blowing in my face as I fall

Through a chasm toward a ground

Of old ideas that rise up

To kill my expectancy
