'On a whim impulsive' poetry

Part 1:

5 times, 5 times, 5 times.

3 times, 3 times.

1 time.

3 - 4, 6 - 8, 4 - 12.

1 - 2, 3 - 8, 4 - 4.

stanza unknown.

Part 2:

five flights down

from the dimension you live in,

there lives a harmonic suspension

melting into a void,

nextdoor,

there lives a black horse

that falls slowly

towards the grass beneath,

as if it barely dodged the bullet

it is the only precursor

to the life and death dance,

the dance of passion,

the passion of crime,

the crime of the century.

it is a consumption,

enveloping you in purgatory,

but you stand by your inamorato.

In unison, you say: "It is us against the world."

Part 3:

Little boy running,

rain boots slugging,

collision upcoming

then three lights humming.

cool it down,

cool it down.

slip, fall, land, crawl.

You are in each-others arms, together you enter.

The Kingdom has not forsaken you.

No discord or disenchantment

or disdain or division.

surreal poetry
