Give me chaos in the sweat and strain of a futile exercise well outside the straight here-to-there and back again logic that weighs nothing yet costs everything I want to slide across jagged rocks with my belly scrapping down a mountain completely immersed in friction without drama and splashes of color that don't exist outside of imagination's box of crayons and once that is over I'll drag up that old piano wrapped in rough chains so rusted over that its grains equate to normalcy give me pain's analogue not sugar coated in opposites like happiness or joy limited to temporal ecstasy rationed out in war time leave it prolonged at aching feet and creaking shoulders too weary to collect the unspoken benefits but graced with a child's overwhelming willingness to be soothed by the thought alone this stone keeps weighing me down seized from the jaws of uncertainty but the most certain thing of all is that to throw it cedes my victory. Nobody ever finally loses their soul- they only piss away 99/100's of it. |

Nicely done, Edgewise but it's in the wrong forum. The Open forum will give it more exposure. This forum is for lessons handed out and worked on. Transferring to the Open forum... |
