can't shake this fire
that burns closed eyes
striking open sores of my mind

my jaw cannot speak
the motion fufilled, but never a word
sleep is miles from here

troubles are a tangible fruit
indigestable to the majority
but if ruled,
does my taste exist?

bite-sized ants on a bed of infinity
where does the beginning start
after the ending has begun
and the start has finished?

it's a long way they say
what's relative is everything said
and all said and done
the fire remains
slumber has yet to come.

Welcome to the family! I really enjoyed this...sometimes what we don't 'hear' in someone's mind is pretty intense. I look forward to reading more from you. Please check your email!!
