sometimes i want my skin to crawl -
i want to sit my bones in muck and sink
until my nostrils are just above the level
where i can no longer breathe

i want to purge myself of every great loss,
that's ever been or will come to be

i want to exist in every moment that i live,
to feel every emotion with an earnest heart,
to see every sight with wide eyes and an
open mind ready to learn, unlearn, relearn

i want to evolve, though the process
will be painful and neverending - i want to grow

We gaze
upon the unseen,
give voice
to the
inexplicable.

(n) A phenomenon
whereby the day-to-day
necessities of life
call for action and thought,
not feeling,
and the emotion
catches up suddenly
when the actions stop.

"Is that all there is?"
The eternal question answered:
"Is that all you've found?"

Fingerprints of comfort
cover the knife which
bears passion's blood.

When the future
holds no promise,
the past will ******.
