Can you see that?
That's the integral vision of my pernicious chicanery
Can you taste that?
That's the repugnant taste of my inexorable subterfuge

Can you feel that?
That's the succinct feel of my perfunctory duplicity
Can you smell that?
That's the factitious smell of my brazen insecurities

Caught in two mendacious minds
On the fragile precipice of madness
My inept thoughts are nebulous
Leaving me with chimerical sadness

Can you hear that?
That's the cataclysmic sound of my synchronous maundering
Can you sense that?
That's the discreet sense of my indefatigable perspicacity

I wanted to write a poem with simple lines followed by more complex ones - Nobody pissed me off...it was just a challenge to write one like this. I don't think we'll be recording this one!

It has worked well

You rose to your own challenge. I think the challenge of singing this would be difficult but you are pushing your bounderies these days so who knows, it just might work sung. Regards Seabhac

Oh Hell! regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Darya

LOL! - I tried to make this one a cross between simple and complex...wish I had a dictionary when I wrote it, it took me ages to dig some of these words out of my brain!

chimerical

I did not use a dictionary, my only help was my spell checker...I was shockingly bad at spelling these. I did mean 'chimerical'...but chemical would have been an alternative. I am quite proud of this one...it was a challenge I set myself...glad you liked it and my favourite line is also the last one. regards, HS ps. you're busy commenting tonight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".
