Figure of Eight



Figure of Eight

Awake to a world without taste
Where sickness pulls down in haste
Somewhere between dull ache and nauseate
Dusty smell and reality is that figure of eight

Rollercoaster of eternity in finite time
Mind cannot see beyond this fog, enemy of the sublime
Exist in the day wishing to sleep away
Thoughts of being accursed is in the fray

Lights are dull intrusions that grind around eyes
Sounds reverberate until they shatter the mind
Routine beckons after the alarm has wakened
Afflictions have no sympathy as they attack and weaken

Movement in the surreal defies reality’s zeal
Wishing for that constant flow is caffeine’s appeal
Numb to thoughts that the world can end
Confused circles with that twist, figure of eight bends
