Poetry from the Heart of Darkness

ALL POETRY © SEAN MULLIGAN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 

simmer in confusion
in alchemical solution
green dragons in the playpen
then into my arms you fall
"Hypnotize!" She cries
we crawl like spiders
on the graveyard wall
I'm insane, but I can't complain
just a link in a daisy-chain
this pain is too much to contain
I sink into my hazy brain
with crescent eyes I cut the sky
with acid wine I soak my spine
just like a spoken valentine
into the blue and in the brine
kiss and tell and push and pull
a wishing well of vitriol
this chain of flowers soon must break
cut by sins of a white snowflake
I'm insane, but I can't complain
I'm a tiny star, I'm a drop of rain
I'm insane, but I can't complain
'cause I'm not coming back again
