Revoked

When all that glitters

Is never as gold

As the autumn sun

The summer wind,

The sheets of your bed,

Or the hair of a lost boy--

 

I have been declined, (and so,)

A thought was seeded

Inside my mind

 

Innocently, I must have been

Discovered

Salvage the sunken ship

--how the obsolete Lighthouse

Found the needle,

I shall never know

 

But a price to pay I must

A soul to sell

To survive this wretched--

 

Everything, then, turned to smoke

And everything--has been revoked

 

It is the price

It is the price--

It is the price I need to pay

 

The civil plights

And civil rights

Revoked Revoked Revoked

 

Chained by nothing

But arteries and veins

Sown into space,

--I am free.

I think,

 

Fill Up Empty

 

Responses have been

Overridden

 

Stimuli,

Over-wired

 

Heartbeats,

Overturned

 

Adrenaline has
Overstayed--

Its methods Overruled

 

And fascination is but too

Overrated

 

Everything,

can.not.compute. any longer.

All syntaxes unsyntaxed to the point of

Ef-face-ment

Sensation is the culprit

never ending nerve endings 

yield short circuits, 

Fugitives on the run

 

Protect me. That is the purpose.

 

Everything,

Is a replication

Of memories hardwired

Into the crevices of my brain

Once upon a time

Now cemented

Shut.

 

I have quelled the sun and stars

To sedation

--to extinguish a wildfire

The only way--

I doused the sky

The sky The sky The sky

Doused, and the moon

Revoked

And the night

Placid

 

And the sound of a zephyr

Howling in a cavity

 

And all liberties--

To love,

Voided
