Mind Jewel of a Mad Man

Unto myself I swam through the misted night air,
smoke filled and blooming with star sparks,
musky whiffs of wildfire.

From high I watched skin crack, fold revealing
myself underneath, as I sank
puddling the ashen floor.

No deception left to cover my wounds.
I joyfully wept for sorrow
(red rimmed, terrorful eyes.)

Pleas for ebbing innocence crossed my lips,
the truth I knew to never be,
(erasure of knowledge).

A vista so eagerly sought after
now seared into this restless mind.
I demand it, BE STILL

This expectation has reached a limit.
It's exploitation is no more.
Other hearts take the hold.

Paths ever entwined leading one and all
to sacred unreason's threshold
(the madman's mind jewel).
