Man-ic-arus!
synapses well salted
Lithium carbonated
A magic potion
tae quell my emotion
I’m one of the few
nae downs tae depress
some highs I confess
that are bliss!
A high will creep
up on me real slow
but I start to KNOW
When sleep is a stranger
I say ‘fantastic’
A LOT!
fantastic fantastic
fantastic adbloodynauseam
because everything IS!
Fantastic!
Nae inhib’s now
tae tether me down
flying sky high
I’m kidding you not!
talk tae anyone
that I meet
like a long lost mate
conversations get deep!
Just one thing more
There’s no need to bore
start to rhyme
all the time
wake up at three
and not for a pee!
MUST write down some verse
no need to rehearse
I just gush
have to rush
out choice words!
a veritable Niagara
And …ah yes, there’s Viagra
It comes free with the high
Libido through the roof
But I won’t give you proof
Just ask the wife
Confessions
Indiscretions
galore – I wish!
With Senses blazing
All IS amazing
Music mesmerizes
Each taste sent from heaven
Aromas tantalise
dull scales of normality
seared from my eyes
I SEE ALL!
Watching a film, wow!
meaning and insight
in gesture and word
Art stuns,
colours dazzle
significance found
for eye and for mind
I use the word ‘like’
A LOT!
links and connections
ideas and constructions
spring out of nowhere
inventions and theory
leaving me bleary
eyed
at long last it’s done
been brainboggling fun
but it’s time for stock taking
synapses start braking
my safety chute opens
and I float back to earth
Icarus has soft landed
But I have gazed into the sun!
