catharsis
By manunkind
you were born
and gave a cry of surprise…
for there was no applause at your arrival
the world spins ever onwards in its jaded revolutions
in your eyes, the trees were never green enough
and the flowers, never fair enough
the angels always beat their wings too loudly
and tigers displayed their stripes a little too proudly
the stars, in your eyes, were arrogant and boasting
for they shone of light that you’d never possess
die die, my darling, I’ll be seeing you in hell
fly fly, my angel to a place not so foreboding
we’ll meet again when the moon and the mountains melt as one,
when the sun turns to stone and the earth into jam…
when the daffodils bloom and laugh at your foolishness
for the yellow flecks in your eyes portray my heart so fully
and when I focus upon delight,
I see your smile
So we’ll wait awhile, in this glassy existence and soak in the delicacy
….
You were born…
Lucifer and god looked on in amazement
For they could not decide to which realm you belonged
For to each, they chose you has enemy and advisor
the world spins ever onwards in its jaded revolutions
for the world, they say is visible to only those who view it
as rose tinted
and your heart, they say, would melt any diamond…
turn the hard rock to a bubbling toxic concoction
and when i think of you, i think of pink with
black angrily mixed together...for some reason
for some reason….
For the reasons of the earth, the clouds and the rocks
I’ll paint a picture from dreams
And you’ll see…
You’ll see a chase scene
From a Hollywood production
