On Earth Can Sanity Ever Prevail
It is really a veritable question of our time, In fact - of all times, on this once beautiful molten rock with sea and sand, We so avidly call our home Paradoxical fearlessness albeit so sublime, created by the dark force’s evil hidden hand, That might only remain a vision, Inherited to us in trust, Yet neglected from addiction to, Their indoctrinated pathetic lust,...

Sanity is in fact the default setting When dust settles And dawn rises on a new day Sober minds and eyes Waking to see what needs being done The hard and often dirty work of life And not the wishful wistful dreams Of hope and change (11/7/24)...

Premium Member The Trails of Sanity
The Trails of Sanity Why do I care if the disturber carries on Why is it I cannot just wait it out, bide my time Be more mindful, try and bond Embrace what I don’t understand Welcome the scorching taste in my mouth I wait, I watch, and watch and wait what seems a millennium The afterglow of embers still burn Just sit tight… The...

The congregation of passportology Is an overwhelming majority Don’t know much of my geneology Even don’t belong to minority But anyone can attach me of course To the less equal nation in Orwellian sense For that mental trick I must feel some remorse Must believe in the depth of offence But I must be a little madder To take this to...

I hear you may be leaving. No question does it pose. My heart stirs not to grieving. I can pluck another rose. For if for friend or sanity, 'Tis the latter that I chose. Please check the front yard lawn. That's where you'll find your clothes....

Sanity fair
Oh That's strange Shh quiet Internal system Do you all hear that Does it sound or seem like she Is at peace today Quick Someone do something Make her think Of anything To disturb and irritate Her serene state Quick hippocampus Flash a memory Of the most Painful moment You hold of hers in Her safe Hey, Heart Make her feel Like she can't breathe With every beat you...

There's No Hell Like the One in My Head
There’s no hell like the one in my head It’s the one that I physically dread Some things are better left unsaid And forever trapped in my messed-up head Shadows whisper secrets that I fear Echoes of pain that no one else can even hear Caught in a mental maze with no way out A silent scream, a desperate shout Memories linger haunting...

Premium Member Edge of Sanity
She skates along the edge of sanity. The line between disaster and divine. Heart now tasting the inhumanity, without the lonely sip of the sweet wine. Digging whilst drowning the depths of darkness, rummaging righteousness religiously. God bleeding sunshine into her starkness, pruning the soul hath lost prodigiously. Placing the lotus seed into...

Risen, From my 2nd collection In sanity
Another sun has risen And those dreams forgiven Past miss takes were illuminated And in sleep they were illustrated Shown pictures of pleasures and pain Painted on my mind it all seemed so plain At the moment when hope had left me The sun is rising, and I finally see It was not a dream, but a nightmare You screaming I was never there And...

Insanity and Reality
In the halls of my mind I walk as I ponder, Over things that trouble me, big and small, Over things that tear me asunder; As though I was made for this toll. And I burn and melt and boil with these: The fancily named; dyslexia and schizophrenia, Even the owned one; Parkinson's disease, For they make me succumb to insomnia. And as...

My mast from my collection In sanity
My Mast It’s time to get my life together I have travelled through the stormy weather. I have eaten the bad fruit before Many times, I have hit the floor Now I want to rise. I was never one for lies The clouds are parting to sunny skies I still remember your deep blue eyes Like a comet you came into my life One...

Premium Member A Place of Sanity Sought
When the mind stops, blank without thought, It goes to a place of sanity sought. For sanity is to chaos’ distain, That place where silence and calm are gain. It’s from this place of quiet and calm, That peace can bring a healing balm. As soothing as a soft cool breeze, This time of peace will surely please. It’s here when lavished in...

Howling winds flung me into the sea waves lashed kelp ropes around me my belligerence grew when I was seized anger brewed the tighter they squeezed With fists raised and teeth clenched I resisted the harder they wrenched voice rang out in acrimonious scream my face contorted, wild eyes agleam spittle dribbled from cracked lips I neared the verge of sanity's eclipse Man is...
