(2013)
Written for a great friend of mine.
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens
Scattering shy leaves Skittering down two by two In Fall’s breeze they sink Forming such a golden path Blind-folded hearts can follow
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
A natural fog Too tired to remember Dowsing memories Broken alarm clock weeping Woe be to his faint tick, tock
My White Cloak Part one: Place Entering day by day (1) Into a place to grow and stay Into the foundational walls of old
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
My Grandfather’s last dream In a deep sea of white, heavy thun… Until a peaceful respite blinks What will it bring? Will the rain… With their piercing showers, will…
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
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…
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…
