The Summoning

[Jefftildeath]

There are things I'd like to put behind me

I've let my most negative moments be my most defining

Equal parts bad luck, poor judgement, and bad timing

Evil women, bad weather, and no silver lining

Keep moving, keep trying

Keep the assumption the mouth of beauty is lying

Dying for good times and finding inspired rhymes

I seek the divine and smile when I'm outshined

September arrives... I search for solace and selective amnesia

Synaesthesia, out of body experience and a trip beyond leisure

In pursuit of a meaning in a void we're taught to fear

All points lead here, the space between your ears

Altered perspective to the point of mind travel

Let the ego unravel and silence the internal babble

Dabble in death, step outside the hassle, see what's left

Sometimes to think straight, you gotta get bent

Receptive to the intronautical messages being sent

In tune with before I was born and after I'm dead

I dig on what I'm meant to dread

May the magnet be my guide, grin wide, and go where I'm led

For I've heard the word of God, but I forgot what it said

So it's back to the time dot, back to beyond

Crack, then rebond, relax and be gone

Reconnect with the all, the floor and the walls, the ceiling

The feeling I've been here before

I can't ignore when the other side calls, I summon the balls

I grip metaphysics and bend all the laws

Been tense in the jaw, I'll never be finished 'til I'm part of the stars

I've seen the bizarre, I've been with the creature inside what's afar

I've learned that the body's not all that we are

Was cut by an angel and still got the scar

I'm marked for the duration in hyperanimation,

with overactive imagination and a fool on a tarot card

To get to the deep end I'll wade through the shallow part

With timing that's stymied and eyes ever widening

Confide in the chems, the results are surprising

So far's I'm surmising, I've no fear of dying

Still, there are things I'd like to put behind me

Good work. I like the effect that the double spacing has.

OMG get the fuck out of my head. :D

This piece is awesome...I love it so much and nearly every line is something I feel myself. Excellent work dude.

 

[Jefftildeath]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it more that you'll ever know.

Obviously I write just to get it out of my system and explain myself to myself, but it feels great when someone else reads something I wrote and actually "get's it".

Thanks!

 

[(Wordy)]

Yeah, there's a real energy to this that gets under my skin (in a good way).

Keep the assumption the mouth of beauty is lying

Yes!

I've learned that the body's not all that we are

Yes!

 

[Raz]

Hey, I only just realised it rhymes!

I love it even more now...usually even if I like rhyming stuff I get bored with the structure sooner or later, but the way you wrote that the meaning behind the lyrics was the focus rather than the need to find a rhyming word with every line..much impressed!

 

[up all night]

^ Agreed. I admire poems that rhyme but I don't necessarily like them for it. The fact I didn't notice the rhyming the first time round means that I like this even more. Awesome work.
