Angry confusions,
With ritual illusions
Rule this irrational day.
For I dance to songs,
that no longer belong
in this world of wicked dismay.
With fitting transgressions
That belies false possessions
It is I that in due season must pay.
For my belligerent dreams
Are not what they seem,
And vivid chaos rules the day.
So dance along
And sing your song,
And forget me not I pray.
For lost am I
In this prison of mine,
Forever chained by time.
So tell me now, and gently please,
Can you feel the things I see
And see the things I feel?
Are they all just make believe?
Are they even at all real?
For I can not understand…
How they can just be?
Yet there goes you,
And there went me.
Off now…
Off into the sea,
Off…off… off…into,
ritual illusions of insanity.

I think you speak for many. We all must find our way through
this deluded world. More in chaos today than ever before, and
we know why!Keep writing my friend and clarifying things for us;-)!
Awesome poetry, magnificently authored!
Love, Sheila
that no longer belong

Can really relate to those words, J. Allen. But I think we should all dance to our own songs, regardless of what anyone else says or thinks.
Loud and clear, J. Allen...loud and clear. My world has been
touched by insanity from birth, I believe. But I can't live or
love without it. It is part and parcel of the creative "me," and
sometimes, I even revel in it. Enjoy your brilliance, poet!
This is inspiring , and releasing Thank You Allen!
