"everstill" poems
What. what is this tide that turns within me?
my emotional barometer has gone haywire:
I can't tell triumph from grief
any longer.
Once I might have said I was strong,
I was blinded by your shining armour,
the smooth glitz of your scales.
Your eyes stung me,
you shot your crippling poison into my heart.
Your fangs are still embedded in my skin,
your venom everstill circulates amongst
my bloodstream.
I seduced you—or did you ****** me?
Those days are no longer memories:
rather, they are something more akin to a
strange, fantastical dream I once had.
When will I wake up and be shown what life really has in store for me?

At my birth I drew my first breath...
my cries an announcement of my existence
My arrival.
And yet as I walk upon the water,
I stare and see you, a cold spectre above my crown.
Though I age, I feel your air circle around me.
As I age, I see your wings are aglow.
As I age, I'm nearing, nearing towards you.
And yet you stand, everstill and true.

Somile.
I'm back.
I haven't been away.
I've been drowning.
Of course...
It's been a sea of happiness.
Water inflates my lungs and then there is nothing to do
but shout.
Sounds invade my ears and there is nothing to do
but dance.
Light reflects my soul and there is nothing to do
but shine.
The world is yours but don't you ever forget the world is mine.
I will lift you up.
I will make you sing.
I will make you remember you are a part of everything.
Now breathe deep in nothing.
Thank her gentle caress.
Without her YOU would be nothing.
Light something for this.
If you light **** I say, "Good job, don't forget the day,"
If you light a torch, I say, "May it show your way."
If at last you starve, I say, "Eat, you are not done."
If at night you glow, I say, "The stars, too, have their fun."
Be evervescent, iridescent, soon to grab your hold.
Find your fight, sail each night, marvel at what you behold.
Sing your song, make it long; play what you can and you will.
Be alright, be a sight, laugh til you laugh, until...
Everstill.
Or Neverstill?
