Simply Beyond Help

Zounds!
longing for a
merciful descent into
the terminal ground
where smoky eyes
semi-watch
streams of
semi-(dis)information
exhaled from
smoking brains
on a mission
to search &
deconstruct
ticking clocks
taunt
timely bombs
lost in
purple blobs
of
orange haze
awaiting
purging deluges
sprinkled with
white bolts of
blinding hell
the raving
raven's
feathers flicker
while
flippant tentacles
grope skyward
for
divine decisions
tickling
a sickly brain
 that
 bemoans
 its feckless fate
we shall overwhelm
a sizzling planet
striving for
 brief moments of holiness
in a pit of
squirming soothsayers
 de-coupling
 from
 determinism
becoming
tomorrow’s
sorrow
Mercy me!
a pseudo-prayer
crawls out of
a mournful mouth
(“help me Help MeHelpMe!!!”)
 muttering
 monotonic mantras
 replete with
 rollicking ruminations
 reverberating from
 titanic implosions
 in the dark
 deep sea of
 terrible time
In conclusion...
simply
beyond

What a state of affairs we humans wrought. Intuitive write….
Thanks, John--appreciate your feedback.
Hello NJV! Here…”in a pit of squirming soothsayers de-coupling from determination…” if right here the “planet” could have a break, a pause, even just a brief moment, it would be a healing thing. In the overwhelming chaos of living, we all need a pause…. to breathe.Â
Greetings,Â

Thanks for reading my poem & your comment.
Love the way the words engulf the reader like a torrent of hellish waves with no escape from the meaning which could be the personal hell of a falling soul or the unavoidable collective hell of a dying planet x
Marion--many thanks for your perceptive comment on my poem (probably superior to my poem). My intention was to encompass both viewpoints (personal hell & dying planet).
I haven't read a poem of yours yet that I didn't absolutely love...I'm a fan 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks, Raechel--really appreciate your feedback!
