Thereafter

I came through the city enticed

Drug days

Miserable afternoons

Love filled nights

I am only here for their amusement the play thing that makes them scream

Yelling in euphoric orgasmic Yes’s calling out to their God

Decibels pierce through walls vibrating off their bodies underneath my psychedelic umbrella

I lie in a protected psychotropic haze as they fade into the days through

Days to hours

Minutes to seconds

She fades to the infamous pages of my bed

Again and Again

I am the collateral damage to their selfish soul

For I yearn for the selfless soul to abound

To carry me beyond

Into transcendent metamorphosis doors

I stumble into the beautiful unknown
