I inherited a madness.
It came from my father;
An anger that
always ends with
Alone, so alone.
Women have come.
Women have gone.
The name Michelangelo
Was never spoken.
I cursed them
They were forsaken,
Mismatched minds.
So said my paradigm.
But maybe just driven
By different thoughts,
Living different stories.
We are beings of
Intimate desires,
Yearning dreams,
And daunting chasms
Exist between our
Differing minds.
I twitch at my
Ignorant perceptions,
Flick them away,
Like bits of frost.
Be madness no more.
Be madness no more.
