prolific insanity

uncoiled profanity

uncontrollable stoicism 

 

laughing blankly, a face without twists

smooth blue skin

no goodbyes rendered

 

a white room memo

life escaped from the mind somehow

i called in dead

 

now the excitement's so bland

in a sky of random expletives

i tender my resignation

 

from a menu of last words

capture one last thought

in transit 

 

then visit the gallows

of shallow vocabulary

with my pen a hanging visage

 

before crazy love

puts me away 

for good.

Marriage is an institution but love will have us institutionalized.
A menu of last words... I like that. I'll take one good-bye with a side of love.
Costly menu. Awesome poem.

"before crazy love puts me away for good"

well, i've heard it said that love is a form of madness.....which I do believe is true.

love this piece.

'laughing blankly' and 'face without twists' reminds me of an old mother superior, who had the face of a cinder block... and i was also reminded of a locally written song called the "Swearing Song" that has the line: 'cursed until he was blue in the face, he had time for nothing else' ...but it's tough when all that you do can't even crack a smile or draw a response from the one you love, finally ending up in that rubber room where visitors are prohibited...great penning, my friend

I found some laughable lines in this Jacob. I hope I took it all correctly. Valentine

Sometimes it feels wrong to understand so readily all the various shades of meaning beyond just the intended that are presented - all at once... but life experience means that for some. This went well with coffee...
