That Chasm Inside


Romanticize the soul my son.
Search in those awful, hideous places,
wade the current crimson
floating on a raft of tears.
Go into the meadow, although
it be damp and bleak.
Find the flowers, plant them anew.
Find the pain and uproot them for now.
Fall in love with the evil,
love that gorgon face that turns you to stone.
Take those flowers from the darkness
and feed them to the mouths of vipers.
Climb that keep, made of straw.
Scurry up the side to play your ballad
and sweep her off of her feet.
Romanticize your soul my love,
and then, live freely.
