I was listening to a recording of Saul Williams and i almost felt as if i was hypnotized by his words. In this trace, I wrote the following poem.  


I smoked my share of trees but failed to see the forest
Or hear the chorus in the breeze that caught my stare
And I was caught in a snare upon God’s very doorsteps
When I crucified myself on the cross and the blood loss
Made me hallucinate. I started to lose my faith, so I unveiled
My heart and set my faith loose like a dog from a leash
And followed each wish while chasing my tail.
I stepped into the river to be baptized, but soon realized
That the feathers on my wings became fetters
And I started to sink under the strain until I clogged the drain,
And I woke up covered in ink like an unread letter.
I remembered later I ran out of paper and used bed-covers for sonnets
To restlessly profess my love for poetry until I was drained…

If this is what you do when semi-conscious, then you need to trance out as often as possible.
This is one of the best writes I've seen on here.

Day after day I'm more confused,
So I look for the light through the pouring rain...

Breathtaking.

I may have to trade Johnny Walker in for Saul Williams. This read like violins.
