Creative Delusion
Creative Delusion
Autosomodization ~ Salvador Dali
Rip from me this betrayer
Torturer of souls, slayer of dreams
Harbinger of misunderstanding
Fueled by lack of poetic decency
Nerves grating against the madness
Tendrils dripping red, fragments of forgotten hearts
Ribboned against the sanity
That they claim is not mine to know
Bleeding delusion and imagination
As sand melts into nothingness
And times surely erases its vibrancy
Smothered against the gilded clouds
Wishbone delusions shall topple
This pedestal of marble, this testament of strength
And it will one day surely bleed
Such as you've made me
Mutilation, desolation
Amongst shadowed appendages
Wrapped in gossamer shroud
A mockery against the freedom I claim to own
Yet...
Immortal I will always be
Flying in the face of those who dare to look away
Champion for those who dare to dream
Who speak their secrets, and know no shame.

what a wonderful exhortation following a masterful, emotional poem. Such passion and creative liberty are so needed and so welcome. thanks for sharing this!
beautifully passionately intense....
Job very well done
Only thing wrong at all here
Is Brian beat me with the cheer
Pain in the words?
Maybe you need to play with the birds?
Oh I'll just be a pain in the ass
That way you dark have to go all dark lass
While back to work ruining my fun
Once again job well done!
Mixed up dark with won't at least I didn't copy and paste
Can't ever accuse me of that
Cya from the Cat
Great language, vivid images! Excellent!
Perfectly captured the creative delusion with the fervor that grips the creator to take common / uncommon things and turn into something totally different totally new even if its harsh, delusional or a dream. I liked it .. thanks for sharing..

Who speak their secrets, and know no shame."
Such a powerful poem; those lines especially. Food for thought, perhaps end it at the above part.... This is an excellent poem, Natasha.
