Dancing faster to catch up...

Dancing faster to catch up

   with my espoused growing insanity

                 '62 Bordeaux glowing ticks

closed my calculating eyes

        clock skipped backwards to rhyme

butterflies in my enslaved head

             wading in puddles of 

by the book idiosyncrasies

         took the plunge in the shallow depths

                     other side of opalescent pain

                 dipped in mercury's retrograde

broke a leg stepping in loose threads

          bound around illusion'd roots

  starry nights played xylophone's tin rancor

                        in kaleidoscopic harmony's dread

   fractured my carotid artery

           spit out my of tongue's distaste

whilst the band played till the end of love

        we all fell into contractual resentment

              of  engorged chasm's intent,

                                sans til death us do part

But can we ever catch up? This piece had me racing. I had to read it three times... the vibe is so fast. You have that effect with your writing... it's like alcohol and caffeine mixed together. "We all fell into contractual resentment" - what a hard-hitting line right there. "Dipped in mercury's retrograde" - Dare I say your writing is even soaring to a new level, lately. You're no joke, Frieda. This piece is full of pain and immense talent.

Sad to say, probably never, no....you humble me with your kind words Cyn, thanks so much my friend.

Any time - your writings teach many lessons.

Now that's pretty funny, how come I never learn them...........

Teachers are the worst students, my friend :)

If I dance any faster I'm going to pass out. Damn I just stubbed my toe...ouch!!

Seriously life feels like this. One long harried frenetic dance. Impossible to keep up with without a turbo boost. Sigh.... it gives your soul whip lash! x

Exactly...ha I love 'gives your soul whip lash', you better write that one Red! x

Still working on that kraken...I'll put that one on the list. Ha
