Icuras
(Greek mythology flows too close to the sun}
I've given up the day
Like I've given up the ghost
The old spring's brush of life
Is a rotted coughed breath
I've spanned through time
And strangled all my ideas
Slowly within this sloth
Suffocated my cares,
Now I must give up the morning's mead
The delicate hours
Where we open our eyes like buds
And stretch out bodies
Like waking storks
Give up, to pay the price of desires
Time doubles when you don't sleep at night
It works on the skin like rust on chrome
Left to the understanding of others
I want to desolve like my youth on l.s.d's tongue
& dream a moral end to the despair
That clouds my soul
My face to others, will never brace a change
Any intelligent thoughts are like crumbs to seagulls
The pets of the dammed, the pattern of footprints
A complete circle that ends in tears
Falling through heaven unto hell
Till high on the peak of self discovery
Ready for one glorious flight to recovery
To meet the end as a passenger of desire
& pay back the price of our precious time
On this morning of my last dream
I checked my pockets,
but there's nothing but blood |
