Sanity, like the heartbeat sound deep within the womb
released forever at first light glimpse.
The ninth month mime finds mongoose red eyes
as the cobra's hood attempts to overwhelm, replacing
silk handkerchiefs in hand with swords of steel rage.
As flower buds, so every year it seemingly dies
returning again in glory to entertain briefly.
Yet in its stay of death, red eyes grow more intense
grasping tighter the single weapon of increased beauty, escaping
sane rest to offer antidote to our venomous bites.
Turkey trots as symbols of gratitude, awaiting reindeers
to fly on holy birthdays carting visions of fat man with sack.
Momentary illusions of sanity to transfix, placing
our own red eyes on goozles, noses and extra-large coats,
avoiding the real insane notion of a cynical, poetic world.

i love this one, purity! simply put, you outdid yourself. very deep in symbolism in it's own paradox of speaking to the misuse of symbols. however, PURITY, lol, i would venture to say that this had better be an earlier write of yours! When that light of truset love shines upon you, penetrating through the sanity right to the purity of your heart, it destroys the need for cynicism, and makes you insanely happy, giddish, and romantic in your poeticness. if you don't see this yet, i promise you will very soon. mark my words, said with a coyish grin! cynical insanity... no brief entertainment for you and your love. "arc angel's" brilliance devoids your life of this notion very soon! still well done, tho'. lol

it's beautiful.. especially these words:

As flower buds, so every year it seemingly dies
returning again in glory to entertain briefly.
