how much madness? must i endure

how much madness? must i endure

A Poem by paul

f**k 
the world
f**k 
the sun
f**k 
the sky
in the clouds
f**k infinity
f**k the nighttime
betrayed by the day
f**k 10,000 or more
how much madness
is enough
to satisfy my past
how many 
mental sacrifices
how much endlesses
how many dreams 
solar winds
how much anger 
to fuel the sun
how many lonely lives
sacrifices
to love
and the sky's indiffence
the sun's glare
burning
down
before the night
and how many endless lonely days
must I pay?
back for my sins
how much strange loneliness
how many mad thoughts
how often must I go mad
before the end of time
how much anger 
to take over the world
how many lost worlds
lost souls
lost infinities
before I m  touched 
by love?
how many winds
how much rain
and the skies hide
something
and the moon lies 
to the sun
but the sun knows
it knows the moon is lying
it knows the universe stretches
too far
it knows
ten million
strange things
the sun knows
its alone
the sun knows
separateness
it knows the moon is lonely little
and the universe stretches too far
the sun knows secrets mysteries
stylish madness
it knows mouths are hungry
and things need
the sun know s  the worst of us
it watches all day

Wow so much power jumping out with feeling. How much can we cope? I like the last two lines.

. oh, this is your magnum opus ... i read it to em this morning ... and we couldn't but marvel at every word and every line ...

the way you sense the universe
is magical and rare
your profundity and words
are so full of care
when you make an observation
it's always, always perfect
it's a revelation
with a lasting effect
fortunate are we
who get to read you
your words make us free
because they're always true
there is so much sadness
and it's all around
it's as if love and gladness
never make a sound
and in this silent time
we need words to keep going
without reason or rhyme
your words just keep glowing
i haven't thanked you lately
but i don't want to stall more
your poetry is appreciated greatly
it always reaches my core

There are these small lines in midst of your poems which always grab my attention.and the sky's indiffence
the sun's glare..like this one.How often have i looked at the sky and thought surely the world can not be as small as my suffering..surely there are many who suffer more than me yet when frenzy hits me all i can do is sit and wallow and pity myself..

...
. i am told patience is a virtue ... and i believe it is ... but in combination with proactivity ... isolation and desolation ... must end ... time can't be surpassed ... but it can be defined ...
