Manic Depression

[sylvanlightning]

How can the sun hide
in such a vast sky?

Each cloud a mouth to fill.

One by one
soaking up rays.

The suns energy seeps,
like rain from clouds,
as does cold sweat
from the pores
on an epileptics back.

Personality melts
like the complex facets
of icicles;
Subsides
like d-e-c-o-m-p-o-s-i-n-g
words...

Frothing, acidic and bubbling
seeping into a mental ulcer.

How original and such an effective ending
Frothing, acidic and bubbling
seeping into a mental ulcer. Also How can the sun hide
in such a vast sky?

Each cloud a mouth to fill.

That's beautiful and thought provoking!

Love this stanza, and the whole poem has a mechanical or robotic nature evoked from some of your choice of words, yet the overall context you present is definitely emotional, and well done at that. Looking forward to more from ya!

The robotic nature you speak of came in the form of Lithium. Didn't feel the poem would be complete without its tempering. Been a good long while since that vapidness was felt. Thanks for sharing.
