The Sea

The sea.
(pardon my weird poems)

The sea is saffron
Like blood sacrifice
The sky blue sky
Makes me wanna die
The wind is chilled
Like soda pop
Let curtain death
Upon me drop.

The ground is glass
It's grounded glass
It cuts the strings of my shoes
And heart.
The road is a mirror
Of metallic blue
It tells me what I gotta do
Crash me darling
Into absinthe crimson hues.

The sun is sparkly
Like a chortling babe
CeeBeebee days
Are back again

In the night garden
Of this cosmic dream
I hear unpetalled flowers scream
Turns out they're stars
Binary beings!

The radio blossoms
It croons and moans
Like a bakelite flower
in an appliance store
it sings Lady Gaga
walk out the pretty
swing doors.
Its Eden on earth
its yesterday once more.

The coffin crumbles
wafer of ashes and earth
my brittle body now
smells like dirt.
my tongue elongates
like Kali's Shame
feet first I lie
The china rose sighs
mother
when shall I see you again?

in a dream
a broadcast requiem
i hear replies
of ghosts in the wind
i hear melodies elegaic refrain
we will meet
again
only
I will be the flower in
ypur pretty bower
and you Will be
a rosy maiden
for an hour.

we flit and float and fly.
Till in ashen dust we lie.
