Blood Stained Mind

Here I am in a graveyard state of being
I tell you baby, I don't mind dying.
A blues song comes to memory
you know where I'm coming from.

My barbwire strung from Peru to Timbuktu,
walking in circles illusions a plenty,
seeing stardust out my car window
floating in silver sparkles
looking like butterfly dreams

Allusions playing tricks on my psyche
my blood stained mind in overdrive.
I can't get out of my head from thinking
dehydrating in a desert of mourning.

Water, water, not a drop to drink
where's a pill, a rope, a knife?
I've finally reached my brink.

So I walk my fields of barbwire
with a rattlesnake for a friend
I see the skies in falling lights
could it be an alien, an angel, or a witch
lost in flight?

She reaches out to touch my head
a warmth has filled my soul
finally, I sleep from my distant fall.

The following was featured in my With Pen In Hand Series book 1. To John Donne And Other Poetic Letters. Available . Synergebooks and other fine bookstores.

Hope you liked it. :)

This book summarizes life's ten toughest tests with ten passwords each to pass these tests. The current overload, speed of change and chaos are all summarized well enough to get to the Land of Simple on the other side quicker than usual.
