Seclusive Murder

By Zahgurim

Nevermind the time taken and the
trips spent on the shores of our
subconscious
My cover
Illustrated and bold
Co-written by my Mistakes
Inside the human hide
I'm told
Rests black ink handwriting on
egg shell pages

Is the cover too hard for you to
see through?
Or have you just not finished
your autobiography?
Which, in most cases, makes it
difficult for one to have an
eclectic taste
An open-minded library of novelty
books collected in a single room
Rather than sprawled across
clouded memories
Remembering that you were once
able to understand the perceptions
of authors in other forms of
literature

Gather these words
Scramble
Then re-assemble to figure out
your faults
I will not do it for you
For I am constructing my book store
Where prices are expensive for
statistics ending in odd numbers
Yet the retail tag reads as follows
for those that are even:

"Sale!"

Or digits that try to be

This is where I struggle Carefully
Please multiply me.

    I'm not trying to be "High and Mighty" with this. It is directed towards a friend of mine who lacks honesty and open-mindedness.
