the madness of a chance meeting
Posted: November 26th, 2021, 1:24 pm
I wander through the rooms
of my of cluttered mind like a lost tenant
looking for something I've forgotten
jingling a ring of cranial skeleton keys
A dream so profound I wake up
and talk to myself for a few minutes
then slip back into another building,
you are there with your long auburn hair
falling about the furniture in curls
that hide your intentions, be them pure
I'm sure, 'cause I never knew you to think ill
of anyone
I wish my tongue had worked just once
instead of just lying there like a slab of bacon,
I wish I had been a bit more articulate than a mime
and more charming
why is it often so hard to speak
your heart in person, and why
does that now haunt me in my dreams....
maybe my fantasy is all a bunch of nonsense
a big mistake running on a loop-track of regrets
maybe I need to confess, or acknowledge
ambiguous events as they come to me one by one
before the death knell rings
why is it..... I wonder.... if you are happy
of my of cluttered mind like a lost tenant
looking for something I've forgotten
jingling a ring of cranial skeleton keys
A dream so profound I wake up
and talk to myself for a few minutes
then slip back into another building,
you are there with your long auburn hair
falling about the furniture in curls

of anyone
