Understanding
Melancholia
Comes in small doses
Periodically injecting itself into my soul
Creating my Blue Period, my Dark Age
The parade of miserable thoughts
Pass through my heart and wave
Laughter and joy become twisted
Into my break down, my conquered civilization
Elation
Comes in miniature droplets… misty
As unexpected as a snow storm in July
My Golden Age, my Renaissance
The bright carnival of jubilation
Passes through my soul and lights up my aura
Frowns and hurt dissolve
And I flourish like a colorist, my liberated empire
Paint Your Picture
A droplet of paint bleeds from a tube
A scratch of vibrant pastel drags color along
A sensuous line of ink slithers smoothly
A canvas soaks in your life
That which emanates from mind to hand
Render your picture with any media you please
You might discover a masterpiece
Ordinary Daze
Come into the ordinary dayWhere all the normal people play
Fit your skin into the manufactured world,And surround yourself with the factual,The sensible, the practical
Live life within this one-way gameIt will all blend into the same
Move your limbs in rhythmWith the sane plethoraOf past times, fast timesAnd planned last times
