Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking about things that aren't,
Nor could ever be
Actualities unwarranted:

Things uncentered
Things unseen
Things undone,
If you know what I mean.

Movies reeling constant
But only in my mind's eye
So you play the parts
And it would be my

Honor to catch you
Thinking the same
Daydream. Only,
You have the script.. And I hope it's not a game.

Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking the oddest things.
What if's and why not's
Barge into my clarity and stings
The beautiful scene I observe in you.

Simply:
You paint me a picture,
I'll sing you a song.
You kiss me, I'll hold you
And we'll right all the wrong.
The crunching of paper as it's balled and thrown away, an angry whisper "It's not worth even her time of day".

Time* has no movement in pitch black silence
There is no up or down
Forward is sideways is backward
Nowhere to focus, uncentered
Seconds to minutes to hours to days
Yet nothing passes
Stillness
Empty

And then there was you

coffee crazy coffee crazy
drip drip drip drip
down the side of my mug
3 am
this is why i stay Away
from this stuff
coffee crazy
on my third cup
liquid prison
sitting dizzy
just one more please just
one more
i am not done working
4 am
it just felt like a few minutes
I’m loosing track of the
5 am
hours the clock is running faster with each
ounce
heart beat heart beat
unsteady
it’s horribly unsteady
it’s horribl-6 am-y unsteady
but i write and i write and i write
about every uncertain, earth shattering broken heart
and the unsteady shake of the earth and
the broken unsteady beats ripping me apart
7 am
sunrise and i am
b l i n d e d
by the soft uncentered light
drifting through my hazy hazy  window
and my legs are shaking and 8 am i am
sure i am dead
and by 9 i am six
feet
under
the ground

Blurry leaves a blowing
In the wind-
Belching to blackbirds
Pulling sadness from
Teeth--

Blood; drinkable-
Blindness-

Spits mythology with
Atoms saying,
Admantium dreams-
There's-an-ocean
Sway--

Sweeping beneath
The soul-and I
--And I

Forget--

My fate bestowing
Feet amidst shelves
Made of shin.  

To an uncentered
Head as centerpiece.

Unknown, unidentified, unheard and
yet unbothered.

Unfiltered, uncensored, uncentered and
yet uninhibited.

Unrestricted, unrestrained, unleashed and
yet unencumbered.

Unastonished, unimpressed, undazzled and
yet unabashed.

i'm such a fool! such a fool! a lovefool! i am dramatically falling against the piano, wine glass slipped from my fingers and crashed onto the floor; oh! merry death, sweet taste of love and pain: torture to my silent psyche, torture to my quivering heart:
                        thought he’d love me! love me! thought he’d take me! take me!  
                       there never seems to be the one and the way that I'd want it! maybe they'd come over: but there would be pneumonia. yeah, i'd really want to, but i don't think i want to.
will i come back from? feeling this uncentered? will i get rest from? these problems? but i must detach from it, detach from the sea: this ship was so beautiful, but it sunk, unfortunately.
