Canceled

Negate the affirmative
Affirm the negative
One in the same
As love can be
The force that cancels

Catch 22
The catch phrase
Epitomizing life in all
Its waking tides
And times prolonged and disillusioned

The bitter taste
Of after-birth
Metaphysical dysfunctionings
Brought to test and
Raked over angry coals

The scourging at my pillar
Hell, I'm no fucking christ
I am better for that matter
Yet worse
For I am still

I damn Heaven
Am passionate for the heavens
I bleed for I am
Human
Forever said to be this way

Sleep held aloft
The taunting string at stick's end
Following lost
Footsteps retrieved
Their images brushed from time

They want
I cannot give
Misunderstood
Blind to my eyes
Only I see all too clearly
