Taste Of Ash

Medi psychotic

sacred dreams in the dark

Spiritually hypnotic

igniting a spark

Dreadfully chaotic

when involving the heart

Mixed with gin and tonic

is when the trouble all starts

Wounds far from fatal

still leaving a gash

The hand rocks the cradle

with a mouth full of ash

Stirred with a ladle

hoping no-one will ask

Discharged and disabled

still expecting the cash

Tied tightly to the table

with the windows all smashed

Falling for the fable

while the stones are all cast

If you're willing and able

better run away fast

For the author's unstable

with a heart made of glass
