Brief spasms of lucidityA Poem by Patrick McCombs
I imagined your touch
It was almost too much And the wind screamed And I no longer dreamed Of soft lies Only foreign skies Alien landscapes that stretch on forever And my grip on reality starts to sever Yesterday I thought I saw you across the street I looked down at my feet Too scared to look in your direction Unwilling to spread the infection That is locking eyes Because in them I see a thousand other guys Five minutes later, I realized it wasn't you That nothing my eyes tell me is true Its scary to think That everything is written in disappearing ink I'm starting to slip I'm losing my grip I can't keep track of the days Its all a never ending haze Strange scenes Never ending dreams Ever briefer spasms of lucidity I'm losing all validity © 2013 Patrick McCombs |
