(2013)
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
To grasp at the root This longing for the seasons Hidden deep, deep down To say it’s just “Natural,” Would only scratch the leaf-tops
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
The mind of a girl That swirling vertex of bright Is unreachable So we put up these steel walls When we could have built a bridge!
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
