Dilapidated Whimsy 



This ones for you Johnny


The dark woods lay 

Defeated 
With caterpillars plucking worms 
Mistaking them for apples
Velvet poison from the queen
Inquisitively asking misleading questions
To the bunnies celebrating…nothing 
The kitty cat purred to the hum of his own hallucinations 
The whimsical fantasy
Now high jacked by needles packing hazardous material
The tiger and her protector arrive…
To the magical dilapidation 
The whimsy was missing!
This can’t be
Off to the queen!!
Off with her head- pop her cherry
Kick back and…swing!
Tiger bites with black and white stripes
Firework burns down the illusions
The distraction of dilapidated particles now in flames
New parts
New start
Characters wide eyed
Riding on unicorns
Melting plastic needles 
Raising the flag of whimsical
Mushrooms sprout from the mud
Nature reborn
Another rebuilt fantasy
With a tweak from the twins
Tiger and Sunshine 
Save the dilapidated whimsy
Again..

Of Words 

Tell me again that this feeling will subside
When the words refuse to sit on the pages
And all I know to do is let the dizzy take me in
I fall into a deep and enslaving melody
Swaying and shaking, encompassing every fiber in me

I cannot pause to think

Nor mute these letters that come alive through your ink
It’s a storm-driven string of hell in my hands
The perfect arrangement, a symphonic demise
And the way life takes us into demonic stuttering eyes
I cannot look away, I must purge my pen of this write

Releasing pent up sounds

Last response to your haunting chains
Clanging brash in trebles and hooks
Enough darkness to fill every book
To give everything up like swept away
If I let it all go, will this feeling decay?
