From/Reply II
After riding out the storm
The falling tides
Washed my hope ashore
Drawing lines in the sand
Waiting for the sun to set,
The waves to rise
And this smile
To be tested
By the stormy waters
Of a lifetime of past mistakes
The storm of lies --
Bleeding.
Torrent falls, the sirens ablaze
Standing silent amidst the embers.
Your hand,
Lone defender and sign
This war is over
Control.
Like a subtle, lone whisper, this detail confines me,
Defining what I wish I could contain.
Contain; restrain; try to separate from.
Loss is an opiate, it numbs and it stings,
Luminous and dulling all the same.
These walls move closer, get slicker,
I can't say I have much to hold on to –
No matter how hard I wish, how hard
I cry, tape peels, posters crash.
These walls remain resistant to change,
Any change imposed is change denied.
Reality dictates gravity defies your logic,
Your hopes and your dreams.
Hope a neurotoxin, fueled by love – hate –
Everything in between, but always a posion.
Always just enough to send everything you know,
Everything you've built – crashing down.
Lines in the sand are lines in the sand –
You a fool, always a fool for hoping they'd last,
Standing defiant to the crashing waves.
Reality dictates they wouldn't stay obedient,
But your reality always felt so far away,
A past tale to spill over coffee and a few laughs.
The war was never over –
This was just a temporary distraction;
Reality dictates that you ran away,
Chasing a trail of smoke and passion.
You ran away and left it all behind,
The war will always be here for you,
Just in time for your return,
Ready to pick up right where you left off—
Cold. Lonley. Far too aware.

Shadows on the Wall
Dancing shadows on the
wall echo the storm in my
mind. A smile so bright and
phosphorescent brings out the
beautiful intensity from your
eyes.
I'd love to stay here, my fixed
gaze on your heavy, sleepy
eyes. If only I could I'd light your
world, into a towering, dancing
inferno, like these shadows on the
wall.
There is
no
light in
flourescent
minds;
only nar-
cissistic delusions
-----------------------------
I knew once
What made me.
The layers, eroded
by time lay crumbled.
You cannot define
what you do not --
Understand
Your smile ignited flame,
while the mind melted
my extinguishing infatuation.
------------------------------------
I've malfunctioned;
in a classical sense.
Lone aberration
lost at sea,
choked.. back by
a collective tide.

Absolution [dark]
---
The clouds part -- unveil
A dimming sun, burning
The last of its waning life --
Slowly fading are pasty glories.
With each passing ray, atonement
Becomes all the more abstract --
A shimmering visage of the past.
The hands outstretch, crying out
In their own way, to the dimming sky;
"Fade not away -- we need you --
I need you. I need you now!" Ignorant
Are they to cry for absolution, ignorant
To the transitory stasis of an extinguished
Sky -- the cycle is light to dark, dark to light,
Before the final dark sky paints life black.
