Looking For Madness
Irrational And Reckless Senses Required
step into the abyss of being
linger lost in the lust of unknown
where meaning has lost its meaning
roaming listlessly here, all alone
laughter echoes in chaos down the hallway
malice rests in the minds baited breath
all senses have gone, led astray
sensibleness finds its cause of death
come, lose yourself wholly in my madness
cling tightly to the fringe of insane
befriending your new friend, the blackness
tapping into the craziness vein
like the sea being pulled by the moonlight
pulled into the depths of despair
come back for the party after daylight
let it all go and indulge, if you dare

I concur with Randy on this one! Tangibly surreal and sadly beautiful!
So what are you doing inside my mind, Kelli? I must say, you've captured it quite well.
Really excellent! For some reason maybe because of the photo the voice in my head while reading was that of a creepy carnival side show persona. Kind of a “step right up and enjoy the show” vibe
Quite thought-provoking
Oooo, this is for Rob's challenge? Loved your poem!
