Blind in one eye, Blind in two. Short Sighted a many, But the Scattered, few. Helmets, protect the Short Sighted, From a great deal, a plenty. But for what they see, What a pity. Making for difficulty, You don’t see. The Scattered, listen. We don’t lie. I don’t feel like we’re living, We’re living to survive.

The Short-Sighted
Souls enter your life, Complete their part, And leave. I’d love for you to stay a while longer. The universe says otherwise. It has to be enough. Your candlelight flame may bonfire, Or dwindle in the subtle breeze of early-morning spring. My Feet, my Rhythm. My Body, my Soul. Traveling in the darkness of uncertainty. Ironically lets my imagination flourish. The act of passionately holding on to the Miserable. The inevitable intoxication by the Rage of letting go.

My Feet, My Rhythm.
Allow me to be naked around you, Adjust to the sudden change in atmosphere, If you will. Grasp at fleeting understanding, Until it leaves your consciousness forever. The chase, that chase for understanding. That urge, the traces of that hurt. Turned me into a ***** Don’t misconceive my nakedness for desperation. I am this, Transparent, clear-minded. Take me as you will. Or leave me as you may. I am still right here.

I want you to hurt my hurt. Feel my Pain. Run you through. All encompassing. Unforgiving. Destroy everything in the path. Until we are both clean. And there is nothing left. So maybe you can see. What you have taken away from me. You are a confusing, wind of destruction. I can’t outrun you. I’m not even going to try. Why am I unable to escape it? Am I just that weak for you? Am I stupid for being brave? I’m fighting to survive. Piece by piece you are wearing me down. To a crumbled pile. Movement is leaving me. Even if I knew where to crawl, I don’t know if I have the strength. Face down. Ignore your howl. Pace yourself. This is going to take a while. Optimism will have to stay. It has to be enough. So that someday you may be finally gone. Gone. Gone far away.

I keep searching. For your center. For that metronome. That gives you your Rhythm. For that heart. For which I am attracted to. The pulse, so loud. I cannot define its location. It is somewhere, among this, “Ocean of Chaos”. Swimming in the Mad. This is my beacon. Your pulse is undoubtedly loud. Mine is just as strong, now. Resonating together. But with no knowledge of proximity. Distance. Maybe our souls were never to meet. Maybe we would resonate so loud, That we would tear this world apart. Or set it ablaze with the Fury of our Love and Kindness. Maybe this silly little poem is the beacon we both need. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.

My beacon to you.
We are worlds. Self sustaining, full of energy. Or, As bare as a skull. No thoughts, no flesh. A husk of what was, and could have been. But when two worlds connect in some way, Deeply, without hesitation, That’s when they transcend this universe. Into somewhere themselves will only know. It is up to us to make the most of this special gift we have. The universe will do the rest.

Hello, We've never met before. But I've seen you around. I like your smile. The sincerity in your voice. Hello darling, Nice to see you again. You won't believe all the places I've been. I've brought the world on my back. Just so I can see you again. Hello again, darling. It's been a while. I know. I hope I can still make you smile. Sit here, talk with me for a while. This world became too much to carry, So I left it behind this time. Left it for whoever was next, That stood in line. Darling. It's nice to see you again. I am better now than I have ever been. I found the world once more. Inside my baby's arms. It's nice to see you again.

I want to go home, Crawl in my bed. And start digging a hole. Inside my head.

Days like this
I’m not going to act like I’m not always thinking about you, Because I am. I’m not going to act like you don’t keep my bed warm at night, Because you do. One of the most real things this calloused mind has ever felt. There is no question. There just is, Happiness. I have been forgiven. I am on fire.

I had a candlelight, flame. I traded for the stars. But I can’t tell the stars, from the planes. And it gets me down. Heart exposed, to please. Eyes glowing, darkness surrounding. Misinterpret for teeth. Killing, killing, killing. And it gets me down. Everyone is a weapon. Lips moving, all I can say. Hollow, hollow, hollow. Hollow and gray. And it gets me down.
