A Chaos of Id

Madness echoes; darting lizard tongued through ego ideal

Cinch the cotton jacket tightly straight

So cold … This air that nips sweet reason’s chaste design

.

Fragmented time; murky hauntings of psyche cast shadow

Life organic longing for the dark peace

So cold … Electra, Oedipus, the chaos of Id 

.

Tear me

Twist me

Break me

Bleed me

Curse the light to never see me 

.

Take me

Turn me

Bend me

Seize me

Curse the night to never free me  

.

Maddening echoes; despair the skulking demons whisper near

Foul the breath that channels pretense 

So cold … This icing down deep as the Red Tome listens

.

Fragments in time; the rotted corpse tangs the conscience mind

Succulent bits of cherished memories

So cold … Synchronicity winters this choice left to chance
