suddenly
the idea of a life
is no longer enough
suddenly
and unexpectedly
the shell
cracks open
suddenly
the parameters
are unclear
the rules
no longer apply
and suddenly
the only sense
is a hunger
a hunger for something
more real
and more raw
than this life had previously allowed
something instinctive
knows
the taste
the texture
of pure being
and will not stop
until this insatiable hunger
is constantly fed
circumstances can be tempting
scenarios can be seductive
the idea of a life
at times
appears to be attainable
but what if…
what if there is no idea
no idea
of what just was
no idea
what comes next
no idea
of what is now
just now
no idea
just now
A shell that craks open! from reality or change of perception. Wow you gave me a great idea for a verse that could lead me to a poem. Thanks.
seems you have been the oyster shell spilling your incredibly exotic pearls of ecstacy all these years for everyone else’s sustenance – ’bout time someone did the same for you – if only we could all find the one that got away
…
p.s. please put me out of my misery and post the lyrics to ‘horepse’
intense and true,every word. Nice to read the truth.
You are the greatest, Mr Spheeris. Forever.
