I am incomplete, like a part of me is missing, It wasn’t an absolute, it came over time Amongst a tangle of knotted days. In dreams, it screams, find the missing jigsaw, And on the edge of awakeness, In the fuzzy champagne light of a new dawn, I almost capture it. But it hides like a viper in the grass, Moving the blades, yet impossible to see. Involuntarily my awareness, Diminishes the power of the scream. In the mirrors of eternity I dare to glimpse for the missing in me. But all I get is a hollow blankness, My waking mind defies who I am! I knock on the door of unconsciousness Begging with a bowl of fruits of mind, Yet a barricade of steel like strength Blocks my entrance. I break down tiny fragments that rise to surface, Yet this primordial desire to search Is unrequited, unblessed, ignored.

Missing
I am incomplete, like a part of me is missing, It wasn’t an absolute, it came over time Amongst a tangle of knotted days. In dreams, it screams, find the missing jigsaw, And on the edge of awakeness, In the fuzzy champagne light of a new dawn, I almost capture it. But it hides like a viper in the grass, Moving the blades, yet impossible to see. Involuntarily my awareness, Diminishes the power of the scream. In the mirrors of eternity I dare to glimpse for the missing in me. But all I get is a hollow blankness, My waking mind defies who I am! I knock on the door of unconsciousness Begging with a bowl of fruits of mind, Yet a barricade of steel like strength Blocks my entrance. I break down tiny fragments that rise to surface, Yet this primordial desire to search Is unrequited, unblessed, ignored.
