my love is boundless
but goes unheard

your speech
aloof
bounds over the love
of my words

am I unintelligible?

forgotten trauma
projected
leaving loved ones dejected
abjectly defending themselves
upon deaf ears

why can it be so difficult to love you?

a seemingly self-possessed woman
possessed by the shadow
of a broken wife

doubt.
a common catalyst for rout
from dreams and silly things,
who occupy the distant mind,
who find time to appreciate
the simplicities of
existence.
reality for the capitalistic hustler,
the acceptable hedonist,
has no time for dreams
and silly things.

should i be more practical?

i’ve recently felt
as if i’m perpetually
freefalling,
incoherently lolling
my head back
and forth.
suspense super-extended,
awaiting arrival for an impact
to then discern
reality
from
dream

eyes closed.
soft breaths,
in and out of nose.
trailing of thoughts
left to their own devices.

to accept the mind
as it is.
rest will result

silently turmoiled
hiding behind tears
of hidden fears
coaxed to reside in the depths of my soul

communication thwarted
misunderstanding magnified

do not forget
to accept
right-brained activity
the womb of the mind
requires nourishment
and tenacity of the individual
to balance logic and rationale
with compassion and love

a deep understanding of within
breeds creativity in abundance
