I am listless
lost in thought
you are somewhere
where I ought
to learn to be
so brave and free
I am remorseless
weep in time
I live the thoughtless,
soughtless rhyme...
I am the half beat
measure's time
the beat
that's ever lost...
without the black line
measured cost...
I am the ever wish of "ought"...

And maybe never
and forever
a gentle whisper
of a rhyme...
maybe I am
forever tethered
to smoky eyes
and signs, divined?

Don't ask me to turn away,
when I could brush these tears, dismay--
Don't ask me to be silent when
I could hold your hand as friend...
I just can't turn and walk away...

I just can't leave you here this way.

I'll hold you when you need, my friend.
I told you. I am here. Defend,

you...

until...There is no end.

Serenity

what is it
about the chopped
sentence
the quick
finish
the pull of the line
that leads the
eye
to
yet
one more
rhyme

which you do
with grace

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.
