Let me in an unending sleep fall
Let me in this abyss of shame be
For there is none I wish than this

Let your embrace engulf my being
Let my spirit be powerless
Let it float like a weightless vessel

I will not fight this
I will let myself in this tornado
An aimless fire of a weapon

Don’t stop my folly for I enjoy it
Let these muttering sounds escape my unwitty lips
Let it show my emptiness

It feels warmer than imagined
It smells sweeter than flower
It is your arms around me

Warm lips
Mine, hopelessly waiting in anxiety
It is you, it is me, it is everything I wish for

Layered upon layers of issues
Of Nothing at heart

As empty inside as the wind
That blew his papers apart

He wore his emptiness like a badge
Futility was his halo
A cold empty glow of nothingness

And as his tongue wagged
The sounds were unintelligible
And when he stopped his eyes
Beamed with approval .

While I wondered . . . pondered
Without disapproval
Simply dazed . . . amused
Wishing I wasn't there
