Confining quartet of walls
One, drawn in cold iron bars
Shadowing days in darkness
Absent windows, swallow stars

Charged with concealing
Masquerading movement
Manipulating minds motive
Rejecting self improvement

A convicted felon of fiction
Imprisoned by ego’s vanity
Kissing lies, tongue and all
I challenge my own sanity

Chamber of cognitive chaos
Mentally insane cellblock set
Trenchant thoughts try truth
Locked away in dreams net

I entered,
centered by
loves absence
abstinence unglued
screwed by a moment
spent in lustful sin
skin sealed in blood
bud from numb actions
contractions spit me out
without instructions
reproductions joke
soaked in neglect
reflect on my being
guaranteeing that love
above all
falls short from my heart
apart from the world
curled in fetus position
conditioned with hate
straight from birth
earth sheds a tear
near silent ears
years pass by
I silently cry
wondering why
me

Stretched days spent
in content decoding
loading latency
preloading life
uncovering eyes
revised reflections
injections of lies
compromise my
views of baby skies
below dandelions sigh
for I
am missing splendor
rendered over ages
pages unfolded
before
sore sleepless eyes
disguised within
winds waving
goodbye
I
long to lay down
gowned in scents
of flowers and dust
just bloomed
groomed by bees
leaving me pleased
to die under
the thundering
thumping footsteps
of majestic trees
