Contemplating a Troubled Mind

The anguish of pain.

I weep for the semiotics and signals oozing from my sinus saying fail
I can feel the agony of Grigori Rasputin, Salvador Dali and Vincent van Gough
Take me, I offer myself, I open the box and see myself and like not what I see.
I am Munch’s scream, Poe’s Raven and Shakespeare’s Shylock.
We all strive to achieve but the demons tear from me my efforts. I suffer and bow to you my hurt I hold before you, take my pain take my angst.
The demons I face stand before me, allow my thoughts to indulge you and I will fight on to meet my gaol.

Such despair…the words create empathy and I can’t help but hope that they are only words and not your true emotions.

Wow, simple exasperations
Of an exhausted creative mind,
Such lovely dainty words
Where else can one find?
Except in the words so strung
So wonderfully sprung
From our Johnny’s mind

Ah!

What extraordinary snaps
You really do display,
Where from hell
Do you get these anyway?
Lovely display, lovely play
And
Love all the way
That’s all imagination
Johnny you did say
Accept it perhaps
Surely we all may.

Merry Christmas Johnny

To all his friends,
As well as mine too
This is not a joint poem
But from me,
For Dearest friend
Our good neighbour Johnny.
