yawn
sunset casts an apathetic shadow
encompassing here to there
unstained and lily white dreams
my thoughts are soiled to compare
thru incidental murmurs
i resolve to be at one
for the sunset shadows carry me
to the place where life begun.
another morning
did you catch the sunrise?
from where you lay your head
time wrapped indifference
until the soul was dead
i thought i could answer
thru barriers of air
but when i turned to answer you
i found you were not there
addict
purple hair guy walks down the street
whistling a tune too loud
combat boots and a smile
ask him if i can walk a while
he takes my arm and leads the way
thru tar blocked crevices, serene
I tell him that I can not lie
he says he knows, but wonders why?
the blue car follows us silent still
i get scared and close my eyes
he shocks me into a shallow hole
i feel the rush of a cloud in flight
the obscurity of a sand less hill
he walks me up right to my door
i slowly speak and ask for more
he tells me firm this is the end
gives my keys back, by the way
i try to call but have no voice
i realise now this is my choice
little kids shoot marbles where the branches break the sun into graceful shafts of light.
I just want to be pure
is it too far to swim to you?
and be lost
in the eye of a winter storm
covered and comforted
in the mindful thoughts of a withered child
this is where i hide
spent all my time
abiding by stale mistrust
and shallowness
disarming empathy
i am deluded, perplexed through forethough, afterthought and drug induced insanity.
i am tomorrow, today, this second, this miniscule snippet of time held out by two hands over wrought and wrung out
i am never, maybe and forever
i am every breath that you take as you climb and scramble along the rungs of your misguided, mishapen sanctity.
you've never seen my face but you hold my heart in yout hands, my fragility bleeds like wrists nailed to a cross, my life spews forth like a tidal wave to a deserted shore.
how can i forgive the only love that has ever made me bleed true blood?
