"Margaritaritamargarita"


Poem Artwork

Love in Hell

There was a girl in the psych ward
Who stood out from the rest
Because she warily ignored
Everyone there but me

Margaritaritamargarita

Scary clowns in hospital gowns
Noticed how she was dressed
(As if they noticed anything)
I noticed she was bored

Margaritaritamargarita

She noticed silkscreened Bob Marley
On me and smiled at me
She sent me through the ups and downs
And I began to sing

Margaritaritamargarita

Sad clowns shuffled out of our way
Alive in Unit Five
We decided to live that day
Though damned and in hell's hive

Margaritaritamargarita

She took my book a trophy to
Dinners of nothing but
Air only air (and knew I knew)
Far as the eye could see

Margaritaritamargarita

If I go back no matter what
I know where she is there
And I know she will remember
August in September

Margaritaritamargarita

A ballerina from Russia whose smile
All white teeth and fragility
Within a mask of pain
Made me forget we were crazy awhile
Inciting possibility
And we will meet again

Margaritaritamargarita

Sounds like a true event that came about one time, but worded in a magical, sort of hallucinogenic way.

Well done, you're poetry is outstanding.

Could be soul mates, Steven. Most everyone thinks of this as a purely romantic connotation, but if you had this kind of connection through the haze of "madness", it could be so. Romantic and intoxicating write...
