SHHH!!

Swirls, swirls,
consuming vortexes of vexation
compose the haunting emptiness of my world.
All around the sucking mood plasma stings
from the taste fermented by the blood of toxic dreams.

Tear soaked acid kills the lucid quest for cerebral spatial eloquence
raging like a fire by the nightmare of tawdry metaphysical opiates.
I am a philosophical wanderer without a guidepost
feeling only the searing peril from elation's drought
burning in my chest.

Above my flaccid mental reclamation hovers Nirvana's illusive portal
where my tongs of will are never able to reach,
but being the abode only ascendable by a sage's keys
lost somewhere deep beneath my wallowing upon thought tide seas.

Till a desperate mirrored confessional reprieve
dawns as a brisk inner rush from epiphany's weave
when I no longer play the chase of mirage revelations
and embrace the soft, resonate "shhhh" inside
finding at last the muteness from callow impetuousness
inhaling the light craved without vision
to see how silence and the breath of tranquility
truly starts and also ends
within a self induced sublime crypt
of chaos veiling.
