Grey Sanity
By Aeroo.
---
Longitudes and latitudes
Take refuge in their platitudes.
Can't you hear the paper screaming?
As the poet struggles, weeping,
To recount what he once saw
In the wide world's gaping maw.
(April, May, November, June.)
---
Diamond words of clarity
The frightening hilarity
He dances in his halls of bone,
So beautiful, yet so alone
Resplendent waves of pain and fear,
A single ruby blood-red tear.
(Typing madly, scratching runes.)
---
Shut the windows, lock the door,
Pin him to the marble floor.
Constricting bands of silk and thread,
Binding him from toe to head.
Horrors hiding in wide eyes
For every thing, there is a price.
(Seagull, Robin, Jay and Loon.)
---
Stay within society,
Keep ever strict sobriety
Walk the paved, well known road,
Ignore the brutal blood and bones.
Hit him with Dementia's cane,
Break the fragile, rebelling brain.
(Spear, sword, red harpoon.)
---
Cast a net of now lost dreams,
Ensnare the woeful flying free
Transform them into one dull face,
Who has a niche, who has a place
For who would want to be the one,
Who stands above, who stands alone.
(Remaining grace, grant us our boon.)
---
And as he sobs for what has been,
Scars adorn the frigid skin
Forgotten pain, forgotten love,
Wheeling ravens, bleeding doves
Snowfall,
Moonshine,
Rainfall,
Sublime.
He is a poet nevermore.
(Above dead stars, below live moon.)
FIN.

AN: The "Can't you hear the paper screaming?" line was inspired by one of Cricket's nonsense poems. Please give her proper credit for this, everyone!! Basically I owe her for the idea of the entire poem. Thank you for the inspiration.
It's supposed to be about a young poet who lives in a world which never does anything new or creative, and he's starting to become like them. The poem follows him as he eventually goes insane from attempting to break from society.
Thank you for reading! |
