: Schizophrenia
: By Tamara B. Latham c 2002
: Willows bend
: with heft of troubled times,
: near the stonewalled garden
: flanked with light.
: Their voice, the wind,
: co-mingles with shrill screams,
: to sing a joyless, melancholic song.
: Ravens perch,
: in lieu of flight, content,
: to watch as evil wraiths
: eclipse my mind,
: committing me to flee the forest lime,
: whose rubber trees, beneath an opiate sun,
: electrify and quell delirium.
: Shadows dance,
: jump through
: the artist's pallette
: of tranquil hues,
: splashing colors of the spectrum
: on my thoughts,
: which leap
: in a kaleidoscope of hope.
: Images
: of calm direct my feet
: along a snake-like path
: to gardens edge
: and there, Veronica Sticata,
: single bloom,
: frees my eyes
: of hard fixated stares.
