Patterns Of My Mind

Patterns Of My Mind

The chemical ghost of the minotaur 
who devours the pathological pie 
explains how electric wires thread thoughts 
as tangled grape vines on the screaming hill 
too fast for my eyes to perceive how time 
designs conceptual patterns of my mind. 

Without the star map of obscene allure 
unspoiled by romance of bewitched buffoons 
we would not have known flavor of the moon 
tinged by soft breeze of apples on the hill 
who seem to know how I prefer to feel 
sliced from fragmented patterns of my mind. 

We almost find strange secret of dream fruit 
defined by riddle of the hapless laugh 
not joyless as the shocking truth we hide 
except for abject poverty enjoyed 
by dreary jesters of the arcane church 
where grim priests study patterns of my mind. 

The broken water pipe of deep discourse 
gushes black blood of angels in fierce mud 
at midnight when blind ravens on phone lines 
play chess with honest butterfly of chaos 
to form opinion on the latest war 
between demons in patterns of my mind. 

Amazing sun glows gold on placid sea 
to mirror strange feelings my heart denies 
when pure love blossoms from anguish of pain 
too simple to calculate curve of roads 
that lead us past so many unlocked doors 
in maze that mimics patterns of my mind. 

It fascinates me how word wizards gain 
divine glamor from critical attention 
of psychic analysis so they grow 
into demigods through apotheosis 
of social veneration stamped in codes 
that compensate weird patterns of my mind. 

The chemical ghost of the unicorn 
which my heart projects into world of dreams 
lingers forlornly on dark misty moor 
to find the secret land of Albion 
where children of fairies program new myths 
that redefine old patterns of my mind. 

The young girl on the rocky island shore 
who dives for dragon eggs deep in the sea 
watches the merchant ship with tattooed sails 
glide forever lost in glow of the sun 
who wants me to fall in love with her eyes 
which alone perceive patterns of my mind.
