People twist and swirl, In a vague impression of motion A surging stream, bodies mingle The flowing crowd moves like water In part I am drawn to join the decant By a sense of missing human connection Their minds wrap together twisted The dance to the command of an embedded song Snow-like static thoughts are unclear Haunting blank stares bid me to stay aloof A jovial atmosphere moves through the streets On each face a hallow smile portrayed With great effort, diverted gaze Turning to new unmolested roads I will not be swept away By humanities passing parade

The Passing Parade
Blood Fist and broken glass Hate and anger clash at last Battle rages deep inside Heart and mind are torn within the soul I face a storm

Self-Loathing
Wondering in thoughts, stirred by emotions Memories of time spent together Wanted distractions from the mundane Lost in “what if” and “could have been” The past dress in fantasy warms my heart The walks on moonlit streets Holding hand on rainy nights Driving on mountain roads Your kiss lost on my lips Is seared into my mind Remembrance stands bittersweet Loved for a moment, considered forever

Memory Walk
Chased by demons born in childhood fear Nightmares reclaim their former tier The man with no eyes sent to steal my sight Run and hide, panic causes my flight Concealed in my haven; I hear his infestation Bewildered and enraged at his vile molestation Hidden, my breath catches, silence falls, heart pounds Frozen in fright, steps fall near, voiceless scream, I’m found.

Nightmare
Walking the paths of childhood A pang of familiar affection A kinship to the child locked inside Bound by the light that steals all mystery The grandness of discovery, a child’s eye Every new idea seems an adventure to undertake Clouds that were dragons and mythical creatures Are now water vapor pulled along by jet streams Junk, mud, and holes in the ground Kingdoms and castles to a child’s mind For all the triumph knowledge holds A lingering hope for the return of mystery But, in Pandora’s footsteps There is no going back

Pandora’s Footsteps
I walk in this world not quite a part of it. I see events around me unfold. They nether change me or define me. I muse at their hollowness. They do not exist on my plane. But, they are stones to tread on. I watch as oppression flexes its strength. I smile to myself My world, my life. I exist above oppression and violence. My mind, my intelligence is free. Take my land, loved ones, treasures of this world. They wait for me in the dawn of eternal round. You have no power over me.

Reflection on Feeble Oppression
I look into your eyes Human on the surface Underneath cold unfeeling I reach and touch your hand Hard, cold, unyielding You touch makes me cringe I yell, you blankly stare Eyes cold and dead Is your heart stone? I reach to strike you face Your features splinter A spider web fracture I muse in amazement You dead eyes multiplied Many eyes peer out I hate you heartlessness Blood from my hand Flows down your features I look at my hand you look at yours Blood on your glassy form I take you off the wall You sicken me, you don’t feel at all
