Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
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
Anticipation Generic butterflies swarm Twists, knots, fluttering They find no golden nectar Only number two pencils
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
