Transcendental

curled thoughts veiled in criticisms

nurtured by spiritual contempt and

released under feeble protests

flow from my mind as easily as

breathing but not with the same

requirements for sustaining life;

years of shallow feelings, selfish 

episodes of desire and futile

imprisonments of love have collapsed

around the epicenter of my very

own self-destructive nature;

clouds of intellectualism, float by

on mental rafts of misguided beliefs

and false awareness of the fragile

reality created by our opponents we

so easily trusted as subordinates;

waves of nausea embedded in the

ribbons of thought wrap around piers

like mooring lines tied taught to hold

movement steady and in one place.
