THE VISIONS OF A SANE MAN

  THE VISIONS OF A SANE MANI think I’m disappearingLosingFading and meltingInto regions unknownIrrational rationalityPrismsOf syllogismsPremises falseClouding my thoughts.The mysticism of languageThe mystery of the metaphor.Clarity eludes meIn my confusionTesting my sanityWith visions of a madmanA seerOrA FoolA knowing has come my wayA sudden epiphanyNot insanityAfter allIt’s only the madnessI seeIn this world.

the mirror of

the mirror of self-reflection cracks how many images can i find that are not mine? it is you it has always been you you are standing in an oasis of dreams and sinking in the quicksand of time, the dates running through with ambiguity and anonymity sublime we are but metaphors explorations into the computations that add and subtract, multiply and divide, perfect equations for a poem. ~A Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart.
