Long way home: Part III

All is still.
Not a spot on the hill
No goblet to fill

So fight if you will.

The walls are walking
The garbage talking
Crackers soaking
Pictures croaking.

Foaming flowers
Flaming fog
Fevered fish
Flashing frogs

Flickering, fading
Fumigating
Fractious feeling
Freewheeling.

Eyes rolling
Hands swelling
Feet won't move
Stuck in a groove.

It looks down
Whips you around
Grins wickedly
Drowns you in brown.

And you frown
And you squint
And you struggle

To catch that glint

In those cold steel eyes
That mock and pry
And accuse,

But never ask why

Thats your mirror
Your eyes
But not you
It lies, it lies,

It lies.

No ones coming
No ones humming
No ones drumming
Inside your head

Anymore

She's long gone
Trashed and torn
Bathed in scorn
While you lie

Frayed and worn.

And in the end
No more paths to bend..

Your perfect pain
finds a life

Beyond the rain
Beyond the stain

of madness.

A methodical description of what seems to be random madness. Is it bad to want to clap your hands to the tune of someone going mad?

was thinking abt comments in general ... are you asking me something? are you asking me if i liked it? should i say it? should i say it only if i really liked it? or should i say i really liked it anyway? things like that - just vaguely playing with ideas :)
