LEPADAH

I can c no future anymore

No emancipation for the poor

My addiction lays at the bedroom door

Ready for another night hung over

"Pulp Fiction" repeats on the dvd player

While the Rolling Stones "Sister Morphine" is on rotate

Inside the stereo

Isolating my pain

Emulsifying my brain

My mind soggy from too much champagne

The enormous urgency to bury my emotions

My heart jagged like an opened tin can

Detached from the world

Religion has never been a friend

Jehovah comes to me

I answer w/prophets

Refuse to accept the gargoyles in the mirror when I turn off all the lights

Notions I must be high or suffering from residuals of acid tabs Pandora gave me at the club years ago

I live to sleep

My bed my coffin

& there I lay

Watching crystal clear dreams waterfall into nightmares

That challenge & dare me to die

Fluid w/sound

Blindly dark

Giving way to morning again

I'm alive

great imagery

Written in true open mic form. I'd like to hear this performed. I enjoyed it. I relate. Good stuff.

Wow, I would love to know the back story on this one. I like how you mix the masculine rhymes with sight rhymes. It works well. One thing to think of, the line "Isolate my pain" might flow a little better as
"Isolating my pain"

Very powerful work.
