MUSELESS
MUSELESS.
It's hectic, split between
Fear and defeat, a void
In which the voiceless
Find release, amidst
The tortured souls,
As the rains pound the roof,
Leaks drip down the ceiling
And soundproof my brain,
Leading to spiked moods
Zero clout, empty booklet, full ink,
Storm clouds bootleg my beliefs
And to the rhythm of the leaks,
Let envy and doubt sink in
Egos crushed, Dawn settles reigns
And the wolves are back to howlin,
Chaos captures the alpha path and
The spilled guts catch the Sun's eye,
All the while, the moonless skies
Weep alongside the museless minds.
Fear and defeat, a void
In which the voiceless
Find release, amidst
The tortured souls,
As the rains pound the roof,
Leaks drip down the ceiling
And soundproof my brain,
Leading to spiked moods
Zero clout, empty booklet, full ink,
Storm clouds bootleg my beliefs
And to the rhythm of the leaks,
Let envy and doubt sink in
Egos crushed, Dawn settles reigns
And the wolves are back to howlin,
Chaos captures the alpha path and
The spilled guts catch the Sun's eye,
All the while, the moonless skies
Weep alongside the museless minds.

A wonderful piece ..
Your poem conveys a sense of pressure to deliver to your own standards. Well, id it mission accomplished Yiyo? That space of silence must have felt good eventually. Out of that space came a very descriptive piece. I can almost see and hear it, even feel the dampness. I'm quite sure your museless characters are outside the room .. or am i wrong?
I hope you can read this one tomorrow evening?
Hahaha yeah it did, and once again your analysis is correct. Sadly though, I doubt I'll be making it this week again. And yes, yes the characters are outside the room.
And as always cheers for passing by.
I was having lunch at the school cafeteria while reading it - at first, the wrong interpretation - then after a few reads, I think it sunk in. I kept thinking how would you read it with your connection being a little shall we say 'taxed'
I find the rhyme structure so darned interesting! You did it intentionally? Please tell me it is so? Because if these words fell into place just like this... wow!
Most of them were intentional but some of them just came out of nowhere. lol Sometimes things just fall into place I guess.
