*~Disintegration In Purple Dreams~*

By Zhee

Mutated visages of reality bleed
Walking on thorns of barren dreams,
Lacerating shards of sentient death
Slash the throat of your buried screams.

Demons stab your pubescent mind
Within cannabic skeins of purple haze,
Beyond the precincts of blurred dominions
Hysteria renders the crucified sanity ablaze…

Crystal bullets of paranoid vision
Shatter the burnished euphoric sword,
Forsaken in Polaroid realms of delirium-
Where only fear shall be thy lord….
..
..
..
..
..
..
Angst ridden and tainted,
My fraught and weary hands
Cradle your disintegrating pieces,
Averse to letting go…
…..Lest you crumble to the ground….
