"Dream
of the Shadow Thing, Mine “
By:
Karl Chamberlain
Dream
Of
the inky black thing
That
crawled from my guts
And
sat on my chest, gleefully chortling
Its
lusty delight; as dark as night
It
opened its claws, and clutched tenderly
Within
I saw
A
gorgeous wild flower
With
petals like moonlight,
Ephemeral,
ethereal, translucent white
Within
that
Seven
daring bursts of red
Crimson
so hot it seemed
Explosive,
Like
the 4th of July,
Fireworks
in the sky –
Hot,
bursting, powerful –
Life
passing by;
Within
that
Brilliant
drops of honey gold,
As
bright as the sun,
As
sweet and honey on the tongue,
Fertile
clumps of pollen
Of
the Soul. Within that
Nothing
more the eye may know
But
something subline clarity
From
an impossible distance – SO CLOSE!
The
shadowed inky thing
Is
not quite what it seems,
No
imp, no gargoyle, no Frankenstein,
Just
the essence of ME, and mine
Shadow
child of night
Came
to me last night,
Clutching
a wildflower to his chest,
Daring
to show me what he loves best.
I
now wonder
Remembering
his shivering,
Naked
sigh,
Was
he half as terrified
As
was I?

Excerpt from "To Hell -
Farewell !": June 2007 :
“
ELEPHANTOM “
Sometimes,
I
forget....
I
forget
that
I am not really worthy of your attention
and
that I'm only an intrusion.
I
forget that my opinion doesn't matter
and
when I express my perspective,
you
couldn’t really care less.
I
forget how much more important
you
are than me.
Sometimes,
I
forget....
I
forget
that
nobody is interested in hearing
the
truth about themselves.
They'd
rather go about Life
as
if they are the
embodiment
of righteousness.
I
forget that I'm the only one
that
was once a child that
made
stupid mistakes.
I
forget that happiness
is
a virtue and it's okay to smile.
Sometimes,
I
forget….
I
forget
to
agree with everything you say
so
that we can be friends.
I
forget that I live for your
company
and say things contrary
to
your popular beliefs.
I
forget that I’m an idiot
and
I’m lucky if you take
any
time to listen to me.
Sometimes,
I
forget….
I
forget
exactly
what I'm supposed to be.
I
forget that I'm not entitled
to
breathe from time to time.
I
forget that I’m subject to
do
what you tell me –
when
you tell me.
I
forget that I've done
nothing
in Life to be proud of.
I
forget that I've never
experienced
pain and that my
scars
mean nothing, because
they're
self-inflicted.
I
forget that I deserve all
of
the hate and malice
directed
towards me.
Yet,
when
I forget these things,
it
helps me remember what I Love
I’m
nothing like you!
Yet,
Sometimes,
I forget....
