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.

k/s,

friends would never choose to end?
but roads lead on, and bend

the introspection of a rainy day
oft leads me back along that way . . .

e/k

Well done.

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

So often these thoughts are so sad refrains, certainly we can all relate to experiences within our own lives. Good read.
