(2013)
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…
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
The end of the road A distance we all travel Darkness as moonlight Spreads over stone and flowers That litter our path ahead
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Foggy morning sky Your veil remains untouched by The flags of Autumn How cruel of you to kidnap Such keen keepsakes of your kin
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
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
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
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
