Centipede

Centipede

I often have a rare flower in mind...

Honey bees feed 
Flowers cross pollinate 
Germinate and breed...

Yet all I get is the stench... 

The wasps polluting a picnic...
A sugar soaked sticky bench 
Swatted away 
The hot tempered drinking...
 
Binging all day
A bad example I lead
A lemur in the jungle 
Chewing on a toxic centipede 
Exhausted and bored 
I fall to the cool forest floor 
Mother nature will take me

Surrendered.... 

A defenceless baby 
Mother nature
Will reincarnate me 
Make me suffer 
Once more 
I am a slave to the truffle....
Mother nature's wild boar

That moment during a toxic binge, just before you sleep, when time stops and we see beyond the veil, when daylight starts to creep and we just can't seem to accept life, we create such odd images that startle the mind, it's the best time, for me anyway. What a great piece Syd.

What a great comment Gerard, you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Your comment alone would make a great poem.

Thanks for reading and leaving feedback. Much appreciated.
