Beyond the peak,

Below the valley,

Beyond the range of metaphor, of praise:



One.

I.

The I of All.



Within I,

Turning,

Hiding and revealing.



We are turning,

Returning,

Letting go words,

Forms,

Limits.



We are Returning.
as soon as i wake up,
my head is filled with you
the way i feel about you. oh, if you only knew.
i smile and giggle whenever you are around
just a glimpse of you stops me from feeling down
Just out of reach the fullness of poetry
tempts the poet to write

to attempt to capture the ineffable
the wind in a jar
The forgotten prisoner.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trapped for years on end.
Confounding rhyme.
Prisoners of a scan,
That won’t come right.
It’s haunted me for too long
Now it’s time.
To admit to a defeat,
May seem a crime .
While wrong,
Perhaps ?
I’ll get it right next time.

The forgotten prisoner
Someone stole my color
And threw it to the wind
Scattered like ashes
I don’t know if I’ll ever find it

Someone stole my color
From the face I know so well
I saw it in the cotton candy clouds
And the teal ocean swell

Someone stole my color
I guess that’s where it went
The world looks so much brighter
Like something heaven-sent

Someone stole my color
And that’s what no one knows
Depression isn’t black
It’s the color of a rose

It’s the light orange in a sunset
And the yellow of a peach
Light blue, my favorite color
So simply out of reach

Purple like my favorite eyeshadow
No, lavender, I’d guess you’d say
And my favorite music artist
Although he has passed away

Someone stole my color
Now everything’s too bright
I suppose sometimes darkness
Isn’t the opposite of light

Someone stole my color
So I’ll wear grey and black
As if in mourning
Until I get it back
I'm free like the winds
I drift away like the clouds
but always ends up back
where I belong.
"Forget me it will hurt you later".
She said !!
"I can postpone my unhappiness".
He thought....

"Okay....."
He replied...
