Verses Like Curses

a poem

I’m not feeling good today,

All good feelings gone away,

I don’t think I’ve the energy to play,

All I can do is sit and say:

That,

Words flow through my mind in verses, like curses that highlight the evidence for the nurses writing obituaries for those travelling in hearses. The words disperse paragraphs of mental inverses that coerces when it traverses then immerses. It changes and corrupts into mental cutpurses taking it all as it reimburses. The words are a game, a versus, life and death on the field of internal universes.

The worst is, that this verse is, my only respite from the inner curses. When the pen traverses the page it disperses my universes and reimburses, but only while it immerses.

I can feel it ending now,

The brief respite is gone somehow.

What can I do but allow?

Cause the curse has trapped me in this vow.
