Obstacle (1999)

Chains.
Tightly wrapping
around a sea of hope
keep me at bay.
Locks,
Without key,
or opening,
Obscure my sight,
Hinder my senses
and drive me to
Uncomfortable negligence,
they contain me,
Withholding
my dearest from me,
Torturing every passing thought,
Blasting away my dear composure,
Vanishing emotion away
Into the crevices,
Dark and brooding,
that tame me;
Crafty devices,
leave me
varnished
in fool's
gold.
