another "Bob Dylan" inspirational write.

10-23-07

  scattered into a thousand lights that
caused the stars to collide
into the moon dripping back
into the cold, cold, cold air
that circled around me tonight.

  I wished upon stars gazing
deep into my eyes
that maybe you would one day
call me, "Beautiful."
but wishes are only
promises broken for me
just like yesterday is nothing but
a memory that was lost into the wind.

  I laughed, laughed, laughed,
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha," I laughed
because I thought I was going crazy;
but really it was the walls
that were going crazy;
that caused the silence to thicken
into a threat of a collapsing of sorts
that began to crumble today.

  the rainbows broke as I cried
and only God knows how much I cried;
I cried for the Angels to hold me close;
I cried for the sadness to break away
from my heart;
I cried for the leavy to break
just to cause the manifold to crack!!!

  clowns I saw in my dreams
evil, murdering clowns
with painted faces of nothing but black paint;
corruption was knee deep in their hearts
and malice screamed through their throats
choking the last breath of life out of me.

  what could I do except for gasp for air?
was this really fair?
for me to die by an evil clown's hands tonight?
I wished for once that
my Angel's could have at least
kissed me goodnight.

  as I wiped off that evil black paint
off my face; I realized that
it was me who was the clown
that took his own life
of sadness away!!

  as the paint turned red
dripping onto the floor
you stared back at me wandering
what the fuck happened to me?
