Somewhere smothered -- In between sprinting feet, And a hazy head Heavy spun with dreams, The image of you - dissolving. Slipping slowly like sand, Through cracks in a desperately Clenched fist, seeping Out through pores, Glistening a ghostly sheen, From ghastly truths. Sometime released -- In between blooming bushes, And the infinite inhaling Of passages - hungry, hunting For fragrance to fill the lungs. Expelling old dusty promises, In a windy whirlpool, Your roots were dug up From my garden, and you Dissipated into clean blue sky. Somehow forgotten -- In between toes dangling, Off a precipice of golden possibilities, And the plunge of faith, To the inconceivable depths Of my expanding soul. A cosmic flight to air me out: Empty slate, open arms. I am slipping into light, Reclaim, repurpose, renew. Back cowering atop the cliff Lies my memory of you.

Forgetting You
Somewhere smothered -- In between sprinting feet, And a hazy head Heavy spun with dreams, The image of you - dissolving. Slipping slowly like sand, Through cracks in a desperately Clenched fist, seeping Out through pores, Glistening a ghostly sheen, From ghastly truths. Sometime released -- In between blooming bushes, And the infinite inhaling Of passages - hungry, hunting For fragrance to fill the lungs. Expelling old dusty promises, In a windy whirlpool, Your roots were dug up From my garden, and you Dissipated into clean blue sky. Somehow forgotten -- In between toes dangling, Off a precipice of golden possibilities, And the plunge of faith, To the inconceivable depths Of my expanding soul. A cosmic flight to air me out: Empty slate, open arms. I am slipping into light, Reclaim, repurpose, renew. Back cowering atop the cliff Lies my memory of you.
