10 Stanzas

A Freetime Poem

By Shyanne CarlsonPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Sweet serenity worth smoking souls

No one really remembers

How could we anyway?

Rock is dead

Creaking chairs squeak against old floors

One might want to watch their step here

Or perhaps you just watch where you fall

Not everything has a winning stand

When the wind blows over upstanding umbrellas

Work with me, against me, without me

On my side or without

Friend or foe

Maybe, baby, I'm just not completely altogether

Or maybe I never was to begin with

Wish me luck

Here comes the drop

Whisking dreams into the sky

And away with petals and daisys

'twas never

Would never

No jabberwock

Or blade of Vorpal could save thee

From something so frumious

Distateful and illing as regard from thou

My fair Red Lady

Gurgle, splutter, squelch

No blood moves faster

Gurgle, splutter, rip

Throughout skin, reprise, and regret

Rip, blend, smear

We all die happy here.

Relax my little lolly

We have no regret to salvage

Or perhaps it's not regret you're looking for

Maybe I should just let you be

So gung ho with volley

Relax my little lolly

Upsetting

To realize how fragmented we truly are

No one realizes

Until its to late however

How restricting we all truly are

Little girl with eyes so wide

Who do you despise?

It is odd to ask

Or is it worse for you to answer?

Please, if you love me, or yourself, up you'll release the handle from that axe.

A-raw

We gonna turn it up

Louder than the volume goes

Higher than the speakers reach

With no fault in their stars

Without care to the taste of pennies

Or that we can no longer hear

Or see

Or know

Ear-drum bursting is what we want

No more, No less
