Mercury
Retrograde in Pisces, the sign that connects me to the Sun
Two fish, swimming in opposing directions
Now, fighting off a backward tailspin
Of course, now is when all of my mental barricades are gone
Now my heart tells me that its high time to move on already
But, time seems to be standing still in a way
The game is on pause, when all my head can think now is exactly how to play it
My next ten moves are already planned out
The movie camera is still rolling, but I am not sure what the picture is about
Not in any danger
It could certainly be worse
I have terminally lifted the curse from my soul
I realize that I am whole already
Have been since I was born
No use in trying to find another to hold, for it brings to the heart nothing but scorn
I don\'t even bother trying to warn them of anything now, for all it ever gets me is grief
I refuse to fall prey even for one second to anyone who knows that they are a thankless thief
Yet, those types have absolutely zero remorse
No conscious
No guide
The dark horses ride on through the night without fail
Some can hear the sound of their hooves against the ground
The smart ones often opt to hail a cab up out of Dodge right away
Demons do not play fair for their existence is made up of everything unjust, conniving, clever, & cruel
At the beckoning call of the sorcerer, the fool
Unleashing havoc across the face of mankind
Perhaps when Mercury turns the other way, it gives them the chance to relieve themselves of all their blindness
A swarm of vampire bats eats away the sky
Blood-thirsty villains ravaging everything in their wake
I must escape them for my own sake
I must blend in somehow
I must close my eyes to shadow the brutal surrealism of the now
All dressed up with nowhere to go
A runway model without a fashion show
What else is there to do but wait?
The cure is to adopt a whole new state of mind
Neptune has ceased the tide of the oceans
A fish in a sea that is flowing in slow motion
The way that we once made spectacular love
When the Heavens above smiled down on us
Beautiful, rare, intrepid moments that we have taken way too much for granted
Moments that have planted infertile seeds that so many sat and eyeballed before they could even stop to think to sprout
Thus, why I and others have suffered without having anyone in which to love
Going too fast in slow motion....
