i.
Fools
like gods
falling from the sky
a dime a dozen
everywhere
folly is unleashed
upon the world
where should i find myself
amidst it all
but in the center.
ii.
Poetry is a madness
spreading silently
through the brain
an empty feeling
that scars my heart
ponderous
wondrous
horrendous
i understand none of it
fate and mercy
the sound of fate
thump, thump, thump
don’t ask me to explain
i try and i try and i try
and i can’t
life like a dream
yeah
the more you say it
the more i like it.
iii.
I’d tell you
i’d done it all for you
that neither heaven nor hell
could keep me from you
but truth be told
if i ever really found you
gained you
had you
i’d run as fast
as my legs could carry me
away from you.
