Edmund's releaseA Poem by isiah_holmesHis voice loud with lyrical announcement His voice tall with abstract language and truth Melodies traveled with a trip, and truth A trip and truth, a trip spilling into deep truth Truth, this is the gift of my friend To some he is crazed, mad with voiceful delusions Delirium, echos that made him a victim of his own mind His mind sick and talented with gifts of string play His fingers dance along silver strands, harmonized as they go But I must now admit and show, confess something of my friend Edmund My good friend, a slave to suggestion Synthetic, natural, quakes from the pit of human creation He's addicted, I think we're all addicted So he was sent away from his rag tag band Carried off in secret, locked away in the hopes that this boy This person, may be healed of some sort of ailment The disease of absolute dependence He returned from his disappearance, hair shaved Skin clear, mind dry, he called me to his home for forbidden play I provided the means, and we partook in the gateway to his disease As i drowned in my old pleasure My old-truly old friend green with illegality I spied a change in the air, circulating around Edmund His eyes wide, his mood more and more paranoid, he confessed "My soul doesn't want this anymore, Its beautiful" Tears choked back behind his face refused to flow And he told me it was but his will denying their appearance He thanked me as if I had done him some favor He thanked me for his release He's free, I helped my still tormented friend become free It was then that i decided to write along the papers crease Write and speak of Edmund's release
