Sands of Time for the Unsteady Mind SOT2023 ---NON-WRITER

"Sands of Time for the Unsteady Mind"


Undue pressure to confront my inner demons,

Will I stand and face these horrific cretins?

Inorganic matter conjured by cranial inefficiency,

These beastly apparitions habitually make me queasy.

Uprooting many temporary holds of my sanity,

Deep seated abominations of my own grotesque vanity.

Time is a prison I suffer in silence,

My unsteady thoughts beget visions of violence,

Sands through the hourglass I curse you in vain,

The cycle continues as I relive my pain.

Insidious claws beckon me to the bubonic abyss,

A wolf in sheep's clothing; a two-faced mistress.

For beneath my carapace there dwells an eerie land,

Haphazardly I slip into necromantic sand.


-The End

Excellent! That's a profound and sophisticated poem; combining the two main elements of the theme.

Well done with the coupled rhymes, too.

Thank you very much! It was curated from the cursed corridors of my cryptic cranium.

Ah, the cursed corridors, I should have guessed... I feel a song coming...

Excellent tune friend! If I could remember how to imbed YouTube videos here, I would post some radical metal song about haunted catacombs or some such thing.
