Personality disorder

Mark Bell

Awake my silent aviary
Static flamingo,s
Hawks on thermals
Cuckoos playing with my sanity
Pecking at my thoughts
Eroding my stability
Ravens and crows
Perch on my fragile mind
Forming darkness on which they thrive
Changes must arrive
Changes must arrive
Nightingales Berkley square
Wings of light
Warm singing from flocks of doves
They invade my erratic being
Oh dear oh dear
Aviary crumbling on discarded feathers
Fly away my feathered friends
