Delirium's Flowers

Philip Daniel Cook

Times they are changing....

but my world keeps me 

occupied. With the rooms

you never cross-eye,

my torn apart. The works

of dead men.

 

Dancing in the

death and me,

that's a breeze.

In your garden 

of death.

I'll map out

my master hands.

 

Death? Fate? 

Time? 

The crumbs are lost 

in life, so as in me, but 

I am....in this world

that is shaped,

by the flow of the ebb,

of every thing.

 

Delirium's flowers were 

gathered in fields 

of death grows.

I'll put an anchor

to this lamp.

If you gather the 

stem of this 

plant mind,

I'll walk

the 

road

you 

planted.

The seed from

ancients, to the door

of the 

wild flowers.

 

I'll map out

the galaxy with

a swing of my hand.

The dream is mine.

You can say the book writes itself.

But the hand seems to contradict.

 

I'll send a messenger for you to shoot.

If only if you get one day in the Sun, or 

in other words fifteen minutes of fame.

 

You'll see Jesus walk on water.

But still you'd ask for a different God

to clarify if it's okay to believe in this 

man?

    I would love to know more about this, the language is absolutely languid. Now, I know Bob Dylan doesn't have the market cornered on change, but I've got to ask if you referenced him intentionally? Excellent poem

    • Philip Daniel Cook

      To be honest, I actually am channeling a metal band know as The Unguided (formerly Fallen Angels, Sonic Syndicate), and Bob Dylan that always been a- cliche for me. In my mind he's really corny and rhymes a lot too much. But no, I get where you hear that , yeah. It's twangy like his stuff. But to answer you, it was accidentally.

        That's really cool to have learned though! Upon checking them out I can see The Unguided a couple pages behind!
