Banality Isn't For Me

 
My mind is a flurry of feeling
so much so it never quiets
it sings to me even while I sleep
I want a vacation from myself, I think

A chatter on the winds
disturbing your reverie
that would be me
Shining my dark light
attracting the night moths

My scattered thoughts connected by imagination
too intense to accept in your mind
I am a contraditcion in your eyes
faithful screwball praising the neon figure called God
I accept my place under him
masochistic I have my place in the universes

You may not understand my love
but it is unconditional
I understand his cruelty
as I understand yours

I trigger a response
even in the most banale people
striking a chord too painful

You'll cry out
cursing the universes for one like me
with a provocation of guilt

you'll feel me down deep
