A dream interpreted is a deflated dream.

It’s time to deliver demented demands,
all of them non-negotiable.
Shake up the official zombies
They were not trained for madness.
Authority will shudder and comply.
Don’t be bashful. Make them work for it.
Rats must sprouts wings and fly.
The soul will be a white handkerchief.
Naked crones should haunt your dreams.
Concrete’s mysteries shall be revealed.
Cats will speak in demotic Greek.
Angels will plummet into birdbaths.
Orgasms must last four happy hours.
Poodles will swallow entire anacondas.
Lawyers become instantly honest.
Smiley faces are banished forever.
Every hammer will find its nail.
Everything that isn’t must become.
Write these in your own blood.
Nail them to the courthouse door.
Make the masters imagine what for.

Painted With Words

Poetry, painted poignant, random metaphors, morphing emotions, bleeding heart, wounding soul, emerging love, emananting light, warm moon, cold nights, any sonnets, or any thoughts that you want to paint with words.
