Madness
From my "Poems from the heart" collection.
Madness
Sadness and madness, anger and rage.
A primal fear, my demons won’t fade.
The Devil wants out of His fiery hell.
Am I crazy? Out of my mind?
The symptoms and signs I haven’t obeyed.
The sickness inside will never subside.
I’m lost in this tiny twinkling of time.
My head has been broken, my soul has been torn.
A white padded cell my only attendant
The Devil He whispers these obscure temptations.
Medicated and dedicated to fighting this madness.
Debated and sedated are my symptoms of sadness.
Death he awaits my encroaching arrival.
The Devil he’s coming to end my survival.
He’s poisoned my mind and shielded my heart.
A sinkhole of evil in which I’ve been caught.
I’m lost to the world, gone from this life.
Go now in peace, for in pain I’ve found mine.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
