#confines
*The boundaries in the mind
Is impenetrable by the Light
Of consciousness,
Concealing the obdurate ideas
Within the confines of the walls
Held captive, and mired in obscurity
Leaving the mind in desolation*

The heart has become cold as stone
Love is confined to the solitary confines
Feelings straitjacketed with force
Hands that once caressed left immobile
Cannot wipe the tears of remorse
Soul is restrained to regain any feelings
Strangulating every ounce of hope
Love, once that spoke of a future
Now, has made the present, a torture

I speak to the world.
it talks back, but not in the same way--
it tells me to watch
all the little movements--
my eyes drink in slowly
the ceiling fan
it's shadow reconstruction
spinning on the wall
I listen as this life speaks.
creaking floor underfoot
it's words are lost on my heels
they do not understand.
bedroom window to the street
I can barely see through
the curtains are drawn closed.
this world shows me sense--
it swallows me whole.
night turns in the sky
like a restless sleeper
so I am awake
cool air greets me
from the idling fan
and the floor whines.
I cannot see the back yard.
cannot hear, feel the world
through the distractions--
these cardboard walls
the paper sky
my mannequin skin--
a projection of the time blinks,
red numbers resting on a black shelf,
in spite of my confines.

I can not move it back.

Man predicts
Earthquakes, Cyclones,
Hurricanes, Tsunamis
But in trying to stop them
He becomes the shinigami.
Knowledge is fine
Controlling is divine
But Nature is still
BEYOND man’s confines!
