: : Schizophrenia
: : By Tamara B. Latham c 2002
: : Willows bend
: : with weight of stressful times,
: : near the stonewalled garden
: : flanked with light.
: : Their voice, the wind,
: : whispers joyless notes,
: : then shrieks the Banshees' song
: : within my head.
: : Ravens perch,
: : in lieu of flight, content
: : to watch as evil wraiths
: : eclipse my mind,
: : where I, committed, flee the forest maze,
: : whose rubber trees
: : distinctly scope my gaze,
: : while raging storms mask full
: : an opiate sun,
: : then electrify to quell delirium.
: : Shadows dance,
: : jump through
: : the artist's pallette
: : of tranquil hues,
: : splashing colors of the spectrum
: : on my thoughts,
: : which suddenly take form as silhouettes,
: : then leap in a kaleidoscope of hope.
: : Jonquils sway,
: : as images
: : of calm direct my feet
: : along a snake-like path
: : to garden's edge,
: : where I,
: : no longer marked
: : by fleeing, feral glares,
: : cool and haunting,
: : hard fixated stares,
: : view Veronica Sticata,
: : single bloom,
: : within a Monet landscape
: : titled "Life."
