Tonight
As the lights from the stage seared my eyes
The curtain fell on my heart
If you could hear the music in my head
You'd know the timing was never quite as right
Because where love is blind
You will find
It is deaf as well
And fairly inept

Though with certainty-
All it needs to be
Is buried inside

Untitled

Take my words and carry them out into the world
Make them the home inside of another that I could never create

Holding on

The simplest things keep me holding on
The sound of your breath
The rise and fall of your chest
But by day break you begin to push me away again
I crave the touch-
Nothing fancy
Just soft skin pressed against mine
I need to catch a grip of the surface beneath my feet
Before I stumble over you
And lose myself again

At last

Alright, alright, alright-
She's muttering
Playing on repeat
Searching for a hopeless fight-
Questioning her life
Each syllable slower than the last-
Calmer
As she melts

At last

The trembling in my mind

The dates are rolling over
Just as the pages in a novel-
A novel of my life
And I am folded into the spine
With you
And him
And her
And even the willow tree from my days as a child
Stuck inside a book
Kept far away from the world outside
The world which howls and leaves a ringing in my ears-
A taunting that makes me ache-
Fractures my fragile bones
And drives shivers that even my finger tips recall each time the moon cycles in the deep blues of night

I hide away
Secrets-
Fears kept in bundles-
Racing in figure eights in my never resting brain
As much as I inch my extremities out-
As much as I struggle for a forward motion
I am held
Here inside of the pages of a novel
Inside the creases of its spine
Where I lay my trembling mind

It is here you can find the things that I could never let pass my lips
When I have lost all of my breathe
And the trembling has finished digesting my mind

May revise at a later time. Hmmmmm.

Tapering off

Tapering off of life
On the whim of a nerve
What I see
What I feel
What I may or may not know
What may or may not be true
Embezzled me
Took me for a ride
Turbulent conjunction of the mind

And now
What I see
What I feel
What I never knew
Has taken my life

Mundane

The color of my blood has become more vibrant than my own reflection.
It, and it alone, is what reminds me that there is still something palpitating beneath my chest.

I, contrary to my heart, have been dead for a while.

This is not to be read too far into. So I asked that conclusions are not jumped to in the meaning of this writing. Thank you! :)
