HALF OF A TWISTED MIND - Elijah Peter


Beneath the brazen scowl and howl,
Did faith discern the whimpering truth
Neither the wit of old nor callous youth
Could fork the sanity in this prowl

The old woman waited still
On banks of cracked clay and hill
Half of a twisted mind she had
For waiting for a lover she never had.

Dreams and the dreamer chase the wind
An old woman’s tale is a girls dream
How do you chase a soulless wind?
Water is never still at a rushing stream.

The old woman died today
Well, the madness died if I must say.
But half of her twisted mind she gave
To be buried with her lover who was in his grave.

Love,
Our eternal sanity
Where half the mind is gone
To love
Is to be insane

If you are feeling pains show me where it hurts If you have a stain let me wash them away. If you have a hole in your heart tell me how deep it is If you have any problem let me be the first to know. If you have a heart just show me that you do If you have too many thoughts running in your head let me into your head. If you have a word just say it out If that word is love let me reprise with you. If there's this thing that makes you smile just let me know it If you want to hear a joke let me be your comedian. If you want a crown just let your highness know If you want a gown just let me choose it for you. Whatever you do whatever it i...
