No Poet Peach

A blog of poems and musings by PJR PEACHES

Above Your Head

I watch you weeping in the dead of the night, battling anonymity with wet warrior tears

And you are crystalline and perfect in the drowning of your dreams

But reality’s cold clutches has you tremoring with fear

And that cold cup of coffee that you sip in the morning makes your brain start buzzing, bustling with derangement

Divine intervention is ignorant protection for the doubt that blossoms like a bubonic infection

Every Mountain you climb melts into another valley

Face down, gutter-bound and stuttering out in the alley

Get a grip, disassociate with reality

It all is truly above your head

You curse that you never painted clouds on the ceiling

For only the heavens might know how you’re feeling

But the anvil in your belly gets hard to digest and you’re sick of the faceless and their constant suggestions

So wade out in the water, feel the muck in your toes

The depths of the river bringing soundlessness home

Is rebirth a new beginning or rereading doubt’s tome?

Every Mountain you climb melts into another valley

Face down, gutter-bound and stuttering out in the alley

Get a grip, disassociate with reality

It all is truly Above your head

I can hear you screaming as you walk silently down the hallway

Your knees look crooked as you slouch on with no direction

All I can hear is your giggle that could bring back the dead

I am your zombie that you daily bring back to life

And I can hear you want to get better and fly away

Don’t you know your’e covered in feathers…below you the trees will sway

I promise you dearly, it’s all in your head

Every Mountain you climb melts into another valley

Face down, gutter-bound and stuttering out in the alley

Get a grip, disassociate with reality

It all is truly Above your head
