smothering,
searing air
redolent
with rosedust- squalling
with siren wails
writhing oblivion's convergence
increasingly manifest within the being

From the peak
Never cease
From the pit
Ever more

But between these sheets
I rouse

to implore pardon
to yearn for Lethe
can you wash across the beast
who screams my name

as I fall into the gyre once more

very wordy poem i think it is very poetic in a slightly confuseing way but who am i to say
a mere wordsmith as myself

  Did you write the Book of Love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so
Do you believe in rock 'n roll
Can music save your mortal soul
And can you teach me how to dance real slow

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

thank you janet, walter, and DA for your replies. this was a thesaurus work. i wrote it, and then went through the thesaurus to find the right words to fit what i was trying to convey. the idea is of an addiction to anything. From the highest point, the person wants to stay there forever, and from the low that follows, they want more. but in between, they realize their faults and wish to stop.



 Dont wake the dead,
Wake the dying,
Don't change what you've said,
Change what you're saying.

I had to reread, and that in it's self, made me think.
unusual, good.
