poem 5 :3, this was based from a dream.

--------------------------------------------

I drank a cup of malaise, ate a slice of discomfort

constraints of danger binding me down

Fools standing on a precipice talking as a cohort

The smell of delicacies makes me frown

Of shades of Robin's egg blue and burgundy

They attempt to construe the wholeness of me

"So, they say you are a wunderkind. The gifted!"

Mr. Fancy-pants says mockingly

"Of course he is, after all, he's part of our brethren."

Miss Americana denoted with false glee

"But, he's different. A prolific mosaic, crafted by the Saints."

Little Prima-donna said, her eyes all too sarcastic

"And? Why should we examine him in a different light?"

Sir Orthodoxy asked, chewing japonicas on a stick

"Hold your gaze yet Orthy, we need him moored unto us."

The High Priestess declared

They stare at me with assassin eyes

I have no choice but to be scared

"His difference constitutes his own devotion?"

"Damnfool, he's supposed to be the Chosen!"

"Ugh, don't be serious, he is such a fake!"

"Hush Prima, you're acting like a mistake."

"Confirm one thing for me, dear guest."

 A look of nonchalance, I let them take the floor

"Show us your talent please, at your vest."

I guess it's not good being a loathsome bore

Why not give it a try?

"I'll start with the fancily dressed man, he is a clown."

"Blondie, can you even sleep with eyes awake?"

"The other fancily dressed woman is insecure."

"And to discern the young boy is such a piece of cake"

Four pairs of eyes looked at me in disbelief, 

the fifth one elated

"And... what about me, darling?"

As she stood from her levelled throne, 

that which I stated

"In my eyes you're nothing but a puppeteer,

destined to be my killer. 

Through locutions alone, that which I fear,

schadenfreude is your eternal thriller."

And then, mysteriously, they were gone

Vanished like the fleeting mist

The tables and chairs of times foregone

Can only hold, one's wishes blissed
