Long-winded, short-shadowed
Drum beat
Echo, mind-meld
An inferno of heat
Pudding/essence, snow, fire, vine
Dance in the night to the sound of the train whistle; wish for something divine
Holographic empathy; I feel your pain
Wait for the time when everything’s right
Wait for the train,
Wait for the train
Hold everything back and leap,
Off of the turret and into the keep
King of the stars
Pointless as infinity
Nothing yet you seek divinity
Pointless as the universe
An uttered blessing; a muttered curse
Crying, choking
Death scream
No use dwelling on what might have been
Shopkeeper, soul-sweeper, nemesis
How has it come to this? the saddest dream
Futility, fertility,
It might have been.

Hmmm... It does sound crazy. I have no idea what the option 3 crazy contest was about... but I have to say, when I got to the end, that I was sratching my noggin, I read the exact word I was thinking 'crazy'.
The title definetely fits the piece... it is like a random stream of crazy thoughts. it sounds angry.. maybe confused... tired... delirious rambling.
I liked it.
Thank you for your entry and good luck in my contest

This is very random, indeed. Weird and wild, with plenty of style. Sweet rhyming pattern. Good luck.
