Tonight
I honor Chris
My cell mate
In a hall of silent screams
True Visionary
Painter of dreams
Artistic Dionysius
My Brother
In our time of crisis
Complete inspiration
Soothing me
As I wallowed in desperation
Fleeting transformation
Such deep amalgamation
The kind
Only Warriors endure
Then swallow
Safe
Within
Forever
So surreal
Thank you from my deepest vein
Period
For your art
Your pain
Your unique window pane
Me
A child of GOD
Age 54
Still seeking
Grooving
Evermore
Still peeking
Thru dark
Forbidden doors
Once I truly bled
Screaming clarity
Unfortunately
Insincerity
Pain from fake humanity
Has knocked me to the floor
This day
I don’t care no more
About social bullshit
The silly reasons for it
Prim and proper ways
I’m so often
Disappointed
Extremely dismayed
The bitter sting
Of being played
Used
For others joy
Amusement
Sacrificial toy
This life
Was once so beautiful
Exciting
Unbridled hope
Now
A hangman’s rope
Transcendental dope
Any form of rhetoric
That insults my inner light
Looks down on arts creation
Promotes a violent nation
Stimulates
This hopeless sensation
So deep within my being
Simply poison my friends
Has no place in my world
That rapidly moves on
Far beyond
The moon
The stars
The sun
Soon
I shall wander once again
The unknown
Has always intrigued me so
Beckons me to follow
I will miss you
My sacred friends
Beloved ones
My trip
Has just begun
My earnest goal
To have some genuine fun
Along this narrow path
Forever etched
Securely in my soul
Most of you
Will never understand
This fierce fire within me
And that’s OK
The reasons for my prose
The subtle flame
That star that lights my way
For in the end
It’s not about you are me
We
The reward is inner peace
Emotional release
And LOVE
May I always flow it clearly
Sincerely
May you always do the same
Because you simply must
And I smile..........
