Taste Test

you want to taste my madness?

let me give you a little hint

it tastes like a mix of many colours

flat matte finish, time worn tint

it tastes of spoiled hope

it tastes of sepia toned dreams

it brings to mind you will come to find

all flavours of many screams

it tastes like white noise

like the lightning inside

a distant thunderhead rolling

the foam on an anxious tide

it tastes like a blurred vision

marred by yesterdays tears

it feels like never would feel like forever

and all of those untested fears

it tastes like a maze

of locked doors no keys

like slow motion quick silver

like a disease slowly squeezed

it tastes like a sound

you’ve heard once before

it tastes like a fading distance

and then nothing once more

.
