Running

Where am I driving to: Tired and wary

Looking for Escape?

The empty roads offer escape

But no Company.

The men at bars offer company

But no Comfort.

My friends offer both but

Deliver no Release.

I search some more and find myself

At your door;

Embarrassed a bit at showing

With you I find all four.

Afternoon

I am

A winged creature;

Pulled into the Undercurrent of Time’s Passing,

Pulled into its seduction of a toneless void.

The mind muddies and stifles;

Unable to dredge up motivation,

Unable to focus the inner eye.

Surroundings lack color

And visual weight.

Admitting - an early piece

Tears of regret

Not long forgotten

Love long lost

Memories distortrd

And my happiness

Suspended

My heart never learning

To put back the past

When so much of the future

Is ever-denied love.

Edge

Waiting

Widens the void

Between my breasts;

Not easing the longing

But honing the years

Into an edge

That cuts.

Diving

To reach the ocean floor

One must dive deep.

Succumb and assimilate

The increasing pressure;

Take it into yourself and

Live in that moment,

Then ride the currents yet lower.

Discover the true

Denizens of the deep

Their habits and psyches;

Those creatures that carry their own glow

Where all is dark and murky.

Accept and know the amoebas and parasites,

Prey and Predators.

One cannot understand the ocean of the soul

Just by staying on the surface

And being an Observer,

Watching the waves.
