You are a dawn
Vibrant, full of light
Behind ebon clouds
In the middle of the night.
I stare, down into the
indigo darkness of the
sea. Land is far from me,
and horizons darken with the
mass of storms. Alone I wander,
and land is far from me, alone
in the gloam with the sky and the
sea. Light shining in the darkling
depths, heralds of the raven night,
a storm is brewing and day is gone,
and land is far from me.

I wander on.
Solitude. A passionate yearning I hope I can, one day, attain.
As I redirect myself to a ebon place
A place where I can balance myself
Cuddle in the arms of silence so I can hear what needs to be said to bring me back to my normal equilibrium
Muddle each thought as they pass through my brain
Put them in a zip drive folder
Nice and neat
No slumps or goosebumps
Smooth surface
Cuz we all one day need to find a purpose
No more flapping in the wind
A contributor to society
Making people feel some variety about you
Jus like a variety pack of chocolate
You amaze them every time they pull something out of the bag
Cuz maybe you will drag some confidence within you
So sometimes you gotta redirect yourself to a ebon place
A place where you can balance yourself
Bring your emotion back to equality
Quality in your actions
We all lose our balance sometimes
You it's okay
Even the best of them went astray
I'll continue to go to my ebon place
Even tho it's dark here cuz that means there is room for some light to come in
She goes on the prowl
beneath night's creamy crescent
longing affection .
Haiku #4 / Inspiration: My cat .
She's a pattern and yet so complex--
An entity of incompleteness bound by the voices that tell her "she is nothing"--
A frame unstructured and yet paved by the scars life left on her--
Not an epitome of daintiness but the reflection of a clay that's been molded then chipped to bring forth all at once rugged, sharp, smooth and rough edges--
Multifaceted for she smiles in the light, laughs in the crowds, cries in the night and cringes at the slightest mention of the word "love"--
Self-conscious, never once hearing of a King who thought the world of her--
The irony of dodging people who care only to fall into the traps of the ones who would never care to figure her out--
Similar to a pressed rose--
Pressed into the lives of others, leaving behind residue to the point of self dehydration--
If tears are as perfume, heaven is filled with bottles marked with her name; Daisy--
Born delicate, pure, & soft to the touch--
But over time the petals have been dried , shriveled up into brown nothings that fall fearfully as another heart dares to come near--
Your mind is a treasure that I'd love to discover
An abyss of thoughts and logarithms only you can translate
Your mind makes love better than the body can
It's a dopamine high I can't resist
So as I sit here, I **** on your words as if they were a pair of lips
I sip on your wisdom for it is the finest wine.
How foolish of me
To think that love was more important
Than happiness

I have oceans of emotions
but my mind is numb
These shallow lines of confines
my words have become

I've been strong for so long
but it's made me weak
And these screams in my dreams
are the whispers I speak
