wrap my bones in soothing silk
and see what unfolds
at the height of
a beating drum and beading sunlight,
of crisp April air and sparkling starlight
and emboss my world with
the richest of senses

maybe, perhaps with the heaviest glare
I am missing of an essential care
I've never sought to recover,
a dingy room lit with fireflies
and the most beautiful sunsets
without the sight to drink
within its margins,
falling through the grains of chopped wood,
of gnarled tree bark and wild white daises
feel the impressions of a breath,
the impressions of movement
floating momentarily in a golden shaft
of spring sunlight,
then only to be snatched
with green and blues
of a waning afternoon sky,
the impressions of laughter
and the impressions of noise,
the impressions of a tender touch
tingling after the love
sought without a glimpse
of knowing what's truly
there to hold a single, ever-changing
impression

carry memories,
like the dirt underneath
fingernails

unpainted and hidden not,
carry scars like that
of roses  

and sing unforgivingly,
sing like mountains
pointed

at no one

the still, still girl
who fought for her battles
ramming standstill
as the dunes washed beneath
the weight of her heavy, heavy feet
tire and sore-some
from all the miles she had to overcome,
and a wealth of blisters
here, her shadow stretched far and prestine
even under the deep blanket of night,
step after step, without a knight she moves
swiftly through the sandy dunes
knowing, bristling in her heart
only a comet as true to its course
will lay a stop
to the journey which
she wills

the anatomy of a body
deserves naught to be scrutinized
the symmetry of the mind
surpasses far beyond
than that of a quivering yonder*
no need to caress the air
which buffers from
the breathing *****
no need to pluck
strands of singing beads
from the temple
*of a human mind

To miss someone
That's not even yours
Hurts more
Then words could explain

My heart now bleeds out  
As you walk away with her
Silently I cry

'Does the pain not blind your eyes?'

Does the love not blind your soul?
