Untitled [work in progress]

Yesterday, today, or tomorrow
I confess to you, I am not sure
But I finally told her how felt
And the day was something of a blur

She listened, she but did not care
She wanted nothing to do with me
I was crushed, to be denied by love
The voice in my head said ‘move on’

I lay in my room, head on the bed
I wonder what I did wrong, did I?
Time for a nap, that will get me over
Then the doors opened beneath my feet.

Prismatic and Corrosive colors
All surround me and inside of me
The choirs of devils and angels sing
I don’t know what to say really

The colors cloud my right eye, then left
The choir is sickening to my ears
A tear drop falls from my eye down
It ignites the bottomless floor

Cold fires fuel around my being
Flames extend out and grab my feet
Then they turn to ice, holding me down
Colors swath and stampede down my throat

I want to move but I can’t budge
Colors now swarm with in my body
The choir continues cruel beat
It becomes far too much to bare

Colors left my dazed being
I began to spin like a crazy top
Nine thousand and fourteen spins
Then I went the other way
The colors danced around me

RED
ORANGE
YELLOW
GREEN
CYAN
BLUE
VIOLET

Black and white

The colors disappeared for a second

RED

Black and white…I lost track of the spins…

Black and white…I couldn’t take much more of this!

What was holding me back?
BLUE
VIOLET

Black and white!

My emotions were what was holding me back. No longer could I keep them secret nor let those that were secret hold me back. I broke free!

YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE
VIOLET
The colors subsided as the choir began to slow.
No longer did anything have any rhyme or rhythm in this cruel world.

The whirlpool of colors began to condense and form into something.
A snake.
A tempter.
The creature that used emotions against us.
A big, fat, snake.
The snake moved forward towards me.
It showed me images of my love.

The snake enveloped me in its quixotic cascade of colors.
There it formed into a clear crystal shard, with me in the middle.
My love’s image kept coming back into my head.

The choir played softly in the back
Decrescendo
Decrescendo
Ritardando
Decrescendo
Nothing...

I realized that my love
The one who had denied me
Was not my love
A sudden burst of staccato startled me

Their song had ended
So should mine and her’s
The crystal splintered open
I was free

The colors took me up as wings sprouted from my back
I was a happy butterfly in a vortex
I flew back to the world of the living.
I was renewed with hope

And now I was ready to move on
To tackle the next day
Which ever one it was…
