The Box

Have you ever been in Love?

yet trapped in a box
with enclosing walls
limited oxygen
struggled breathing
shaking hands

but when you open the box
you see it's not you

the apparition of love is sitting in your box
smiling
waving
all in congenial mockery

because you're afraid to be alone

Have you ever been in Love?

Because I have not.

Devote Companion

When all feels lost.

And

Concrete becomes quick-sand.

I grasp for the shadows.

And

Within those shadows.

I hear Death’s laughter.

See His smile.

Feel His fire.

And I am comforted.

Dear Life

Eight. 9. Try 10. Maybe eleven. No. 12:30 pm? I guess. The bed below me vanishes.

Life, ha. Oh, life. I didn’t know you had it in you. To create company so poor. So contradicting. Soul devouring;

limbs for dessert?

To let me drown in the company of another. To invert my innards, remove my senses, and spin me around.

Ready, set, go.

Down I go.

Life isn't always happy

Waves

My heart, a sinking ship

Bereft of balanced beams

Descends deeper towards its doom; Depth

creating elusive dreams

My hope, a shifting plate

Converged with reality

Shifts, shatters, shakes its foundation

A quake leaving heavy debris

My body, a tattered shoe

Weary from the long trek

Desperately pleading for its restoration

Left a disheveled wreck
