Funeral Facade

Funeral Facade

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

 

 

Funeral Facade

 

 

i'm so crazy

i'm sanely divining your words

encrypting them within the sepulcher

of my processional mind

walking slowly

drifting indefinitely

and the thought of you, the memory

the touch of your hair, the laughter in your eyes

holds my hand as we depart prudence

stand and watch them bury a rational being

six feet under my illusion of love

where the sky tickles earth

with momentous tittering

and we all roll in the grass

waiting for the men in white coats

to take us into the next dimension

of dimwitted rapture.

9 Years Ago

don't be.
i need to learn how to confront the grief so i can move past it.
I think with certain people that the more time goes by the sharper our memory of them becomes. Love is crazy good...we all need that in our lives.

When you love someone deeply, any form of separation is just like an illusion as you remain in denial

Sanely divining your words can often lead to moments of insanity. Love the use of language here Jacob, six feet under my illusion of love....dim-witted rapture, superb.
