waiting for me

Video included with the poem set to music.

there's something waiting for me

scribbled in stardust

amongst the cold, unsettling feelings of night

dank, harsh and frolicking in my misfortune

 

there must be an ear marked page

thunderously clapping at the thought of discovery

wanting me to glide into its ravenous pulse

aching for the joy of my company

 

there has to be a flavor in a forgotten rainbow

for me to taste

whose presence will linger on my tongue

to become a whirling dervish

hands raised in the ecstasy  

of a dance embracing the heavens

finding its own perfect truth

amongst the hideous, grinning corners of humanity

 

there has to be a clear blue sky

amongst the clouds that pelt me

with vindictive rain

acidic drops of abhorrence

hungering for my skin

eager to flood me into oblivion

 

there must be a favorable roll of the dice

after the scorn and isolation of countless attempts

the odds against me will buckle

they will tire of my endurance

and I will glow in the victorious flames

of my burning desires

i feel this as the muse...being our friend, but also our enemy, attacking us, protecting us...doing the dance with us...

glowing with us and in us.
