insipid sanctuary

Insipid Sanctuary

Discovering                a room                       missing its walls,                   engulfed by white

All is stranded           in                    Life’s                                 blazing ring

Here                I am concealed         from                all                    discriminating                          eyes

I may frolic    to the      rhythm         of my                own                           drumming music

In this             room           I can                                   truly                                     smile

Here                I can               remember

 

 

The songs       that had been           hidden behind a key,           now                   I remember

They    escaped & etched       themselves into the           soul of my         sanctuary of white

Even though          I provided the lock,          I can’t help but             smile

For those verses had          allowed me to              visualize                         Life’s flaming ring

My sanctuary is     being buried     &     I         strung once again     to the          music

Fear thundered violently         for I would become       a mindless puppet           if I were to catch a glimpse               of it’s                              glimmering                            eyes

 

 

The              panic                pounded         in me isn’t         by those        ghostly              eyes

But             by them              being             all                       I can remember

My sanctuary          collapsed          under the           grief            of the                music

Retrogressing                           the                          acetic                               white

Asphyxiating                        the flames                   on the                    ring

And                      crushing                             the               masked smile

 

 

 

Once everything has             dispersed into           oblivion,      returns my hearts true smile

The                         haunting                            eyes

Previously              burnt              by the                    fire filled                  ring

Amnesia              trickles                  into the veins,     now                nothing I remember

Tranquility                        shocks                         back to life     the white

It vibrates                    fiercely to the                        rhythm                  of my music

 

 

Within                         the                           music

Exists                                  the forgotten                                                      smile

All the scenes                              submerged                  by the            amnesiatic white

Hugging                   the smile are the     coffined up eyes

Unable                              to                                   remember

Amnesia                    valued more                   than any                                 diamond ring

 

 

Deteriorating                          into nothing                        leaves                    my ring

The wind               chased                  out by the               deafening music

Drunken dementia                 fogs                   the remembered

Strands                  of smiles

The                                                   sea of eyes

Coaxing               every cell                      that makes me up                      is the white

 

 

 

Freedom                   sprouts wings                  on the                            smiling ring

Music                          gurgles                         out the                             eyes

Memories tear                   at the                             amnesiatic white                                  with raging fangs                   determined to                 recuperate its             ability to remember.
