DISINTEGRATION


Memory.(pause)

illusory.

But the dream somehow combines them both in harmony.

Comedy(pause)

and tragedy.

Both beget a laugh or tears,

a mirror shattering.

 

Oh scarlet melody.(pause)

Opaque resiliency we keep.

A moonlit serenade,(pause)

erasing what.. we... perceive.

 

Struc---tures,

breaking down.

Towering accolade.(pause)

An---swers,

leap-ing bounds.

Hang from a postulate.

 

All is but a dream,

wrapped in cellophane.

Walls of irony.

Thoughts that missed the train.

 

Emotions can't ignore

thoughts unglued by time.

A picture tries to form.

Ripples in the tide.

 

What magick(pause)

isn't what we see?

Phan---tasmic.(pause)

Concrete fantasy?

 

A contradicting fallacy?

 

Sweet, sim-plicity

bitter to those who wait.

Flee-ting majesty,

like carved lines on a face.

 

Interpretation.

Imagination.

Encapsulation.

DIstintegration.

 

Immoderation.

bastardization.

canonization.

Disintegration.

Yeti Noone

poet, mystic. Wrote it but somehow... missed it. Dark prose is somewhat of an artform of mine. Each portrait is akin to a dark meditation on the human condition/consciousness or lack thereof.
