The sweat drips off the words the lengths one goes to disappoint as I tie down my broken wings wondering how long the heal will take pages bleed to me with half-a-heart-thoughts trying to find my place in the humidity of life another thought to another thought attaching themselves smearing the glow from an almost yesterday past the point of it, the losing that is, where the coming down from the high leaves silent pain and the birth of what might have been once again drains the fade into a nothingness to become the norm under the eaves of my mind the attack of sorrow takes place clinging like those bats in backward exposure body weighted by care death always imminent secrets on a blank page waiting to taste it through the pen of another He pecks at the window waking me from the restlessness that invades now bugging me by those he catches while I wonder the next and play devil's advocate sinking too deep in the damp I let the sweat drip off my words tired of playing the same old tunes holding onto an emptiness unfinished... M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |
