#swells
Time is not a line nor a road,
It doesn't pass by in equal integers:
It grows,
Swells,
Accumulates-
In small moments,
Gets caught in the reefs.
larger pools for more prominent moments.
Boundless depth in a singularity.
To see through the eyes of a dead man,
In a moment long past,
Forget the small,
Happy,
Tranquil,
Streams.
Waves career from the bigger ones,
Crashing into my small boat.
To be cast from the hull
And sink in the singularity,
Be consumed,
Drown.
A moment doesn’t pass,
It clings,
Accumulates.
Swipe at the water,
Seeping in,
Try and throw it out,
Before another wave…
The time we spent
Continues to consume,
It swells,
And dwells
In the foreground,
Always.
Time does not pass by,
It is here,
Screaming,
Just as it always has been,
Growing.
Haunting.
I don’t think that I can bare
To accumulate anymore of our time.
My lungs are full,
I have choked on the untameable mass of the lamenting sea.

i'm beyond stressed.
i can't help but wonder when the good lord will let me rest.
the pressure is building upon my shoulders.
like the ocean swells that crash upon the cliffside boulders.
all of these tiresome, daily meddles.
i'm waiting for the moment it all comes crashing down and the dust finally settles.

soft tears cresting in eyes
oh how they've hurt you so
dearest one, let this pass
in pain, fury, the deepest swells of sadness
let them wash over you again and again
until you are calmed
smoothed out until new
you will prove victorious
and they will meet their end

it will start
as a dream
slowly rotting to
a memory that
you can’t burn
from your mind
it sticks to you
like it did to your skin
and no matter how
nice life is right now,
still it will swell and show
that you are
a basket for shrapnel
of things you survived
but
don’t worry,
there is more
than just surviving this,
there is also the joy
of just knowing you aren’t dead
and that maybe life can be great
despite the fact that you’re still in it
say you’re at risk of becoming a partial optimist
just rest assured that this likely isn’t a terminal case
