Like a blank canvas
Strewn about the sky
A theory of longshots
Forever crossing the sea
Sailing to the forefront
Of mind and maritime
Need to put the pieces together
Still just treading endlessly
Pictures of places and people
Long since experienced
Words hanging still in the dead of memory
Vibrant and alive yet somehow dull and faded
Last night I lay under those stars
Today I walk the city streets
Past blank faces in dingy bars
Last night I swam in the ocean
Today I dream of how it felt
These things in memory, effervescent
Existing just long enough to leave an impression
Before fizzling away

Sifting through strands of broken time
Segregating parts of the human mind
Underwater where the silence is immense
Inside the sun where the heat is intense
All experiences which come and go
Deteriorate to even the flow
Before all we know
Dissolves like snow

On occasion, a dream will show
Eyes of someone I am yet to know
In these moments, I feel alive
Justifying the existence of an internal drive
Outside of these flashpoints
A monochrome life
Coated in nothingness
Frigid cold, emotional strife
Yet, I carry on
If only to dream of those eyes
Once again

Art can touch
That which I do not allow
Anyone to see
Moving images
Give weight and value
To a life
Lived isolatedly

World of worlds, under great impression
Which word of choice would lend the greatest voice?
Could life give such a gift
Or, perhaps, merely bestow further myth?
Under everything that has and will come
In silence of our hearts
Will time mend all such parts
Or simply induce the next to enter
Unto a valley of evolving platitudes

Frustrated by the weight inherent with trust
Too many words written in stone turning to rust
Nonsensical as it may seem
Everything fails eventually
Heart, host, body and mind
Time and reality,
Rather unkind
Mimic those that do it best
Failing to succeed
Puffing out your chest
Laugh and smile in the mirror you bought
Unkindled by the spirit of rot
Everything is everything
Until it's not

Hello, my little memories
Sounds and sights
Wrong and right
All I think about, most the time
I dream of places no soul could find
With brighter stars in otherwise empty skies
A place I belong
Where all feels right
Perhaps in a century or two
Word will reach some of you
Of such a place as I described
Where the young go
To feel alive

I walked a path down to the water's edge
Where the stream diverged to a larger bay
All around me, teeming with life
The world moved on while I was consumed with inner strife
It wasn't my fault or at least I did not think as much
Rather, it was being human, the cognitive touch
For all I knew and all I thought
I'd buried the lead, gone too far

Like lightning through the trees
Wish I could see the rest of what is around me
Maybe when I'm older
I'll understand, things can be simple
Until then
Beneath the waves I go
Whatever lies beneath is another layer gone
Nothing any one person knows
With the weight of these feelings at night
Colour and contact filtering through
A smattering of light
Nothing more
Regardless of life and happenstance
The future could be anything at all
Beauty of rising actions
Or
Pain from the fall

How frustrating it is to be
Existing indeterminately
Constantly wondering
If you came out wrong
Moments in time
Capsules of hope and dread
Anxieties burning inside your head
Never again, forever upon a trend
Mysteries of life
Unsolvable by all
So why concern yourself so deeply
With fixing it all
Empty dreams
Insecurities overflowing
I've tried so many times
But now it's up to you
Time has come
And underneath this blinding light
You are a part of me
Ever absent
but more than a memory
