Slow Motion

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....
