Lifeboat

LIFEBOAT

Fumbling upon
the tides and embers.
I gaze blanketly into a
nuclear horizon.
-(Talk about magic mushrooms.)
Salty concotions
tossed from the heavens
into reality and our world.
Churning and swaying
ecstasy of Titan and his wife.
My security being the rubber,
I’ve so fetished all these years.
Drinking timidly
not to quench, but live.
-(Should’ve taken the narrow.)
Blisters appeared and boil burst
as time generates what
comes with it.
I sit and learn
of my own life.
Realization of my own
chaos.
choices
-or shall i say mistakes-
I’ve made.
Knowledge rushes, as sun shines,
beating upon my brow.
Sweat trickles
mixing with bloodied pus,
falling off my rags.
Lying, rolling lazily at my feet.
My chapped skin,
flaking, falling off,
like love from death.
Green hazed eyes
look across reflected pain.
Burning my soul and
playing my mind.
Seeing a land not there.
A plane unaware.
A ship rolling across
an ancient channel.
I sit and scream.
finding release
too late for warning.
Falling in my tears
purity found in waste,
but always too late.
