Drink Blood Of Apples

My face has turned so white with joyful angst
I disappear in marble statue core,
yet leave my name, and dates of birth and death,
carved into hard flesh of the universe
so when I walk away from my own tomb
only my voice remains as wordless wind.
Though I have forgotten all I once knew
I read my story in strange words I write
with blood that flows with tears of hopeless love
which glow as weird dramatic scenes of life
on flashing television screen of truth
to blind millions of people with fake news.
Because my living body conjures love
as screaming shadow of newspaper tales
I clothe my naked mind with simple faith
till I become alien to my best friends
who walk shattered hillsides of scarlet trees
to drink blood of apples with careless laugh.
Awake in misty dimension of facts
which people hide in secret treasure chests,
I challenge divine doctrines of old priests
who strew ancestral seeds in rancid soil
so screaming warriors burst from field of dreams
to dance on wooden bridge of anxiousness.
With musical potency stripping lies
I choose to believe unreality
appearing clear around my naked soul
when I rise fragile from skeleton veil
to incorporate passion of weeping words
poured from wild blazing wisdom of the sun.
When lucid dome of Heaven forged from gold
shimmers bright under green waves of innocence
I sail small fishing boat of eager hope
toward sacred isle that sinks in sea of eyes
since I must choose the meaning of my life
by writing novel no one would believe.
So I dance barefoot with unfettered glee
on fallen statues of rebellious kings
who die alone in castles of cracked skulls
since no one listens to their prophecies
misconstructing strange visions of the truth
which echo vacantly through eerie caves.
Archaic sentiment for river towns,
which I deny could poison my foul heart,
disturbs that universe of fallen gods
because we need no tyrants to obey,
so we will vote for intelligent clowns
to lead our empire from the broken throne.
