Not Until You've Heard Hip-hop On A Rainy Rocky Mountaintop (That is my mind)
Hatemail, fanmail,
junkmail, loveletter
coming down, off a mountainside
of soiling thought
that festers, branded in famished brain
with sounds of talk, talk,
feels like I haven't read
in months, it's only been
two blistered broken days,
I will awake, seconded to none
but the nothing, can the nothing
remove the past? Rap,
intense, helpless thoughts,
harbouring me into a crib
of self-loathing, burning bridges,
unaccompanied, this pain
of pains beyond all pains, all in
my pickled, melting heart,
squirming, with it's whispered
hollering, so hushed, so desperate,
so hungry so closed, uphill
yearning with feathery power
time ticks by the hour, but hear
me not in my concaved shelter
of convenience, let out,
ripped, one more for my
internal road, and another as I lay
my load, this prison my home,
of cruel pavements and
switchboards, electrostatic
pin codes left forgotten, rotten,
as my thought, do you
hear my cries oh my, oh my
three string guitar, do you
telepathically tweet-out my
tiresome calls, lost hallways,
closed entrance, no theatre,
my mountain top is where
I shall stay until I change,
or you receive me. I have
come down. But back up
I shall stay, waiting to play,
with dice and Sailor Jerry,
Serengeti blasting, discarding
blessed day,
for it is here upon
this mountain top,
I intend to stay.

mountain top
I usually listen to Polka on mountain tops, but hip hop is okay, too. And those three stringed guitars are sure fun to play. I might have to tweet about that telepathically.

away, thanks neo, for taking the time to read my dribblings, maybe I will try polka, lot easier to dance to than hip-hop, I would imagine anyway!
Cheers

Fantastic
Too good, I connected so hard with this. and not only because I am a Mountainman. Great job H. Math.
Thanks
for the kind comment Mountaiman and for taking time out to read, no coincidence intended with the title! Glad you could relate, it gets lonely up on those mountaintops!

Sailor Jerry!
All I can do is point out how awesome so many of your phrases are:
"coming down, off a mountainside
of soiling thought
that festers, branded in famished brain"
and "all in
my pickled, melting heart,
squirming, with it's whispered
hollering, so hushed, so desperate,
so hungry so closed, uphill
yearning with feathery power
time ticks by the hour, "
Your words lead to emotional reactions so strong that I can feel them as if they were my own memories.
OH!, and Sailor Jerry! Nothing sweeter :)
Thanks
for taking time out to read me once more, oh and your right, there's nothing sweeter ;)
