To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling

A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there

Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!

Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens

I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow

A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour

A sudden waking From formless blinking through dre… Please, just one more year! Surprised to glance the moon’s fac… An hour before her phase

Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly

The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays

To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished

Seasonal ill’n Ado, ado, soft achoos Cool wind seeps through me

Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
