Spoken softly, the cessation of reality occurs. Brought on by unimaginable stress, -breaking point, -resounding snap. Echoes of laughter ring vibrantly through the clear night, a sentiment- repeated by millions, braved only by a few. A road to insanity, paved with gales of breathless wonder. Imagination. Prone to incalculable excess- always, more and more. A focal point for immoral scrutiny, it is abused, wasted in a half-hearted manner. Those who do not dream, steal a prize not theirs... Then discard it like an old lover, never to discover the -amazement that could be. Purpose denied, dementia sinks into a fathomless void -alone. (I'm sorry most of my poetry seems so dark and depressing, but so you know, it's just the balance to my disgustingly sick sense of optomistic buoyancy!) ------------------ Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll be among the stars. -Unknown- So let the sun beat down upon my face, It's warmth will dry my tears. |
