moment of insanity



So gentle you came.
Like a whispering breeze,
seeking still leaves.
Creating night-time shadows...
... of a flock of caged birds inside my head.
A whip of your tongue,
as if trying to extinguish a flickering candle,
Touched the back of my neck;
electric tingles rippled down my spine!
You expel poisonous words,
twisting my mind, like Ophelia I am drowning
In a sea of emotions that you hammer home like a wooden stave.
Insanity and I are good friends,
yet I hate you with all the hate I can muster
Even dead flowers have a fragrance!
Insanity has tainted me, taken me.
I sleep...you call uninvited.
You sleep...I cry silent tears of desperation...
From the moment I was born, I was heading towards death,
Darkness is just a part of that journey,
a lonely track heading nowhere!
The demons in my mind,
sneak up when I least expect it, they don’t play fair
They don’t stick to the rules,
there are no rules, except ...just another moment of insanity!
