Stage fright.

Spinning off the psilocybin into angel tangents
in every angled aspect,
I narrowly escape.
Getting ballsy on my birthday, putting out that flame,
in spite of rage,
on a focused stage.

I swallow presence upon hours, upon minutes, then seconds.
Emerald beauty devours my legs as I gaze down the yellow brick road.
In my dreams, behind a stage,
I narrowly escape,
page after page,
until I awake.

A beam of light, a bead of sweat,
rolling underneath my tongue,
tasting everyone,
I ever dared to love.

I cannot ever give a review to match TLHSS, or would I even try! Your minds are far above mine, but I can tell you that I felt this and that the last stanza hit me hard. I felt a dreamlike...or psilocybin induced... quality but I could follow it. As I said the last stanza really got me.

holy s**t, my man!!!!
you totally caught me off guard once again with this
you may have just re-sparked the music video side of my brain
this was nothing like I expected when i read the title
I'm trying to figure out how to even review this
it's interesting to note how the first two stanzas are layered kind of synchronistically (best word I could muster) and the last part is kind of a transcendent side-note/conclusion/catalyst...hard to put into words, but great stuff man, very distinguished and potent literature and experience here

dude, my second dream is to make music videos.
Yeah I always name the title after the write. It just became this moment, and these weirdly fitted yet somehow necessary images of this screwed up version of the wizard of oz (favorite childhood movie) that I have in this reoccurring dream since i can remember where I am by this anamatronic stage of wizard of oz characters with a dark forest behind it. The feeling is always bizarre and with weird purpose, much like my brief experience with psychedelics, and life afterwards, all of these thoughts assimilate and I realize in the middle of it..."I am right here, and this is happening."
