That which is golden does not always glimmer
Nor do words we speak have to rhyme
But they tend to do so from time to time.
That made of iron may someday rust
Just as your bones will become one day dust
As all in the end surely must
Even if it feels as if it’s not just.
Sometimes the mood stays light and playful
At others it creeps steadily into the dark
Slips up behind and rips out your heart.
It can be peaceful and quite neatly in order
Or made of pure chaos and disarray
Either way it’s fun I think to play
Would you not see it this way?
This scrambling poem that’s jumps here and there
Confusing to read, confusing to write
It’s a glimpse of madness within the night.
I find it ever such a delight.
