Symptoms of Syndrome
By MikeShank1989
Senses seem to send away the purpose of the feeling
Burned so many
times by rhymes it seems the words are peeling
Screaming in my brain
so loud, I may just crack the ceiling
Evermore, we swim for shore
and hide from thoughts and feelings
Reveling in peddling, a Flintstoones
car away from home
Every brick I've used to build my happy house,
the neighbors build with chrome
Even if I earned another income,
worked another shift
I'd still feel empty, earthless, without purpose,
all for nought without my gift
Singing in my cerebellum siren
songs for verbal praise
Living lingual leisure in a secret spot
I've never seen
Speakers blaring scary thinking, every thought belongs
to me
Hearing, fearing, pioneering ways to make the skin secede
Needle pricks and beetle clicks are blaring every time I bleed
Summation of events contend that no one saw what no one did
No
one is a vile violent virulent villan, now look what you did
Between
each fallen rain drop sings a symphony, listen dear
If you miss
it, I'd be remiss not to tell you “have another hear”
As notes
climb, I sense another signal, there's another near
Light flashes
and cracks from above the sun and makes the airs intentions clear
Segments of centuries played back through melted negatives
Edges
burned, intent returned, resent confirmed, respect unearned
The
pipes are creakin, hear them weaken every time I bend the verb
Cryptkeeper
speaking, coffins reaking, an epidemic spread the germ
Drinking
emerald pools from a cup of lead saturated with wood and worm
My
peripheral pinnacle pasted with pictures of sunsets bleeding in puddle
trees
Drinkning shades of grey like lonely housewives mulling over
sultry subtleties
Focus a fulcrum and I'm helter skelter, I'm tipping
the scales and my weight is welter
Poetry my mistress? Not once.
I've never felt her.
I just pray for a broken levvy on the molten
moat of frenzy, so I may bath in the boiling
swelter
Let me
rub my temples raw and paint utopia on classroom walls
Philosophy
the likes of which is captured in the bathroom stalls
