Desensitized

staring at the blank page
creating contours
of words,
invisible images
grasping, getting
a touch of a thought

blue merges
with the light above me
creating a color
before bliss
nails the numb
to euphoria

scratch the savages
of guilt grudging
somewhere, sober
in its silent sanctuary
feed the food
right on the mouth, melting

breaking bones
crunchy carcass
of dead syllables
now, knock
slid beneath the boundary of
licking letters

wail, words, wail
deep, dark and howling
sail, sail
fading beauty
painting the dark
sky of pain

lead me to you wonder
possess me in thy name
gather my wandering souls
at the center of the page
as you encircle, caging me in a poem
