83934, you sunk my battleship
Posted by WILDOUT, Tue Dec-08-09 12:39 AM
I'm the hidden mile between the shore and the sky
softly uttering wishes to the moon ascend to the heavens love
alive and in the wake of relative mortality, away never to age
what picture can we gauge from this engagement here Earthbound
we love it here
us toronto mc's have had crowns for so long
it seems that many crowds have come to be formed
I am the darkness
Shadows; filled with your emotions
let your mouth judge the flavor
let your ears judge your mouth
and your brains between us
like walls beneath waterfalls
most just call them waterfalls
like soaking in endless rain this life afforded me gifts
so blitzed mad cheery glazed get aways gone into my past
cause I'm trying to have a moment and make that moment last
in the grasp of a poet watching the tide slip like sand
one way to another to recover a place for them
I am the darkness beneath things, most would just call whatever it was that took up the space
I am the shadow between dirt, beneath pete, and in mountains
I am the darkness within hearts, within brains, within oceans
I call upon my birth rights while feeling the endless flood
deluge upon deluge where the only boat is love
in another line I see chains, boxes, pains, locks and talks with mad scientific proliferates puffing up knowledge punishing those they would replace with a functional form of soul fire awake in this reality
replacing life with ideas inside madness earning salaries
wars are first and foremost upon minds, the body is just the battleship

I don't think I've ever read a poem from you before. Thats my bad. This rolled off the brain from beginning to end. I love the way you flip analogies around, sometimes taking me right where I expect (which is comfortable) and sometimes flip me up on my head like what the fuck just happened.

Its a pleasant balance.
