Ring 'round the rosies,
pocket full of poises,
ashes, ashes,
I think, I think I
was struck down and
forgot my place among
the mortal men.
Why'd you allow me to
believe I could rise above
the occasion flittering
about the Slyph Cities?
Blinded by the lighted
Tower of Babel, my
eyes refuse to understand
your parting lips. [Maybe
a penny for your thoughts
was too much to ask for.]
You fried my nervous
system sparking neurons
in the wrong directions giving
off this euphoric belief.
DAMN IT!
I could of flown through
your veins like oxygen.
My wings cutting down
calories (can't let you
get fat off my sweetness),
but instead I was released;
falling to the floor bloated,
dizzy from the coastering ride.
Was I so high that I had
to land so low? Watching
the birds shifting though
the clouds I realized that
your God Complex just couldn't
take me under it's wing.
You're a solo ride, unfit to
make the lovey-dovey journey.

"A writer writes not because he is educated but because he is driven by the need to communicate. Behind the need to communicate is the need to share. Behind the need to share is the need to be understood. The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that perhaps, is what makes him different from others."
