The moth in flight, confused
Frantic chasing moonlight.

Rolling grey opaque skies
Devouring perfect blue.

Sulphur dragged friction
Fed fingertips if left to burn

Incredible and misunderstood

A mix of emotions stirred
watercolor water you and I

Simplistically too desperate to get it.

We are... Progress working at times.

Speak if this no more
Spring still shines outside
Invitingly pleasant
Pretend this was nothing
You never saw or wanting
I will not betray our
Song birds call from beyond
Taste of whatever this now
Never was lays lightly upon
Lips that forget so as to never slip
Things that never happened
No more guilt to be hoarded
As consciousness wants this truth
Our secrets consume

A burning match struggles
Against the gust of wind,
It's shifting unpredictable nature.

The water drops, so many
Borne and carried,
As if with purpose from heaven.

A single touch enough
No shelter nor cover
To brake the gusts
Thus saving it's little flame.

Doing only as it does
Knowing no other expression
Signaling as it erupts
Smoke rising, its own end

A purpose done.
Against the impossible.

This exactly fits my view of life
And living.

The day is growing to half over
And I have yet the spark to create,
Trying feels like an out of reach dream
Strength is a distant memory.

This began as so many have
Before, when I lived out loud
Never fumbling from a lack of
Owning only the possible
Too willing to do or say the hurtful words
As now we stride no shared mile
As many this too has ended
Damaged collateral exceedingly one sided.
And life, goes on, choices find you.
Then and now are tools used and I lose
This mind puzzled and cycles to return to
Nothing, no other shares the hollow person I've made of myself as I love nothing as I loved you.

Ruin,..

Loves making places cherished.

Makes minds write of those moments.
