decaying words
decaying words
I filled a slew,
yellow lined tablets
vomited ink, the upchuck
of tortured faux poets
that cannot sleep,
the maniacs that pace
while the world recharges
its batteries
sleep deprived and driven
manic maserati
weaving in and out of trees,
forest of obstacles
the mighty oak, the majestic
sequoia, old patterns rooted
determined dirt
each pad a section of life
tossed in a box
one on top the other
rings of understanding
or lack there of, piled
layers of compost
layers of humanity
sumo acrobats
contradictions in terms
cardboard coffins
recycled wisdom
boxes of crinkled urine
the guts of insomnia,
spilled on dirty sheets
yellow lined tablets
vomited ink, the upchuck
of tortured faux poets
that cannot sleep,
the maniacs that pace
while the world recharges
its batteries
sleep deprived and driven
manic maserati
weaving in and out of trees,
forest of obstacles
the mighty oak, the majestic
sequoia, old patterns rooted
determined dirt
each pad a section of life
tossed in a box
one on top the other
rings of understanding
or lack there of, piled
layers of compost
layers of humanity
sumo acrobats
contradictions in terms
cardboard coffins
recycled wisdom
boxes of crinkled urine
the guts of insomnia,
spilled on dirty sheets
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
you may end up where you are heading

Re: decaying words
I like how the images were swept up in it,
they say it is not a party sight to see how sausage is made, maybe that is also true for poetry.
Fresh poetry sprouting from the decadence and decay maybe.
Maybe I need to get some sleep
sorry for the ramble having too much fun here maybe
