I Think I’ve Gone Crazy, Don’t Tell Anyone

The old tell the young

Don’t leave the store unminded

I’ve gone a step further 

Left the store of my mind unminded

My unminded mind is a travesty beyond words

Licorice on my fingertips makes me

Feel like a psychopath

Waiting on a Sabbath never comes

My unminded mind gasps for breath

Resuscitates and recreates words

Paints edible pictures to make you

Get your second wind in my breath

Make you open your liliaceous lips to

Hungrily absorb my sentiments,

Your temperament

Feels my words cry

You see & feel your loneliness

Like you thought you never felt it before

The helpless ones, the children and the hunger

Desires awaken, I’m a word monger

Forget your Oreo cookies and ice cream

Desires die tomorrow along with the wind

They didn’t mind the store of their mind either

I’m not alone in not minding

Unsolicited freedom rings in some country far away

My mind leaves behind

Stores energy of its kind trying to find out & unwind

Another way in or another way out

Of this rabbit maze my world whirls

Whirlpool faze with sheeps in wolf’s clothing

A different design

The I and I goes way 

Beyond the words we know

CAMILLE

Your light snuffed out like this candle

I light in commemoration

Not permitted full potential

Never reaching maturation

Your flame put out prematurely,

Wounds my heart like a sword surely

Michael requests positive energy

To help her on her journey

Light a single white candle at sunset

Blue, yellow and red flames ascend

Many loved you, will not forget

I would redo, make amends

Stopped literally in your tracks

Flames soar; see you clutching red wine

Forced before time to pay death tax

Passion and spine created your shine

You were like my sister, my family

Joey recalled movie class, your arm

Resting on his shoulders, your words

Softly spoke, a blue rhapsody

Short winded, precise and clear

Owned the gift of repartee

Camille possessed much flair

With her, no boredom guarantee

Times gone, I snuff the candles light

My mind’s eye reminiscences

Memories live, my delight

Death abandons all; relentless
