Silver And Gold

Soaked in lies
Invisible pride
Longing to hide
Vicious cries
Existential ties
Risking those who have died

Apart from that
Neither deserves a pat
Dying with black cat

Gifted or not
Only one shot
Lend all you've got
Didn't add up to a lot . . .

Sane

Written in blood-
No
Written in ink
Written in a simple way-
Sane
Don't you think?

Write it in a way
That says it all
Write it on a ledge
And then let it fall

Makes so much sense-
No
Leave it to interpretation
No lies in sight-
Sane
Leave it to perspiration

Circling a black hole
Alone in vast space
Life goes in circles
Around my blank face

A countdown to start-
No
A countdown to end
Seconds tick, tick away-
Sane
For whom time will not bend

All the pain and darkness
Cancel with the joy and light
In a burst of neutral
That puts up no fight

Do you understand?-
No
For nor do I
Written in a simple way-
Sane
Perhaps when I die
