In Sake of Sanity

A Poem by Perdition

Tonight

My old friend

I am fallen

Tonight

I am wedded to the weary crutch of your clumsy old oak

Something of this night is tapping

Something

And Oh, how you dazzle me

My dearest of companions

How you ease me against the depths of my own sea

Against the wall and waves of Paripeteia

That isle from which I cast out into isolation

When all is all

And blight is eyes to the colors of our geometry

With your stubborn wooden boots

I thank you for eternity

I thank you for this margin of indeterminate end

For the war of silence you’ve absorbed

Beneath my feral trench

For the miles of refraction that welcomed me into your humbling bow

That shrilling force against life's drunken bossa nova

It has as always been your plight

Your impetus in the jaw of a million conversations

And every jab that ever crippled you

Lies here within your secret

Your friendship

Here

As ever

Unyielding

Frozen

I do see you there

My dear old friend

I do feel you

Come

Let us wilt our flask of time

Let us say we were once beloved

And slow this eager port together

Such that all that is

Billows in our stirs of coffee

For all too soon

When the shift in whistle groans

And incumbent night arrives

So assuredly

We two shall burn

I could be a wondrous poet adventuring along the cosmos picking mushrooms and celebrating with your melodic vocabulary. But, then I wouldn't be visiting...hahaha
