the evasive nature of sanity

hope lingers in the doorway –
wisp of cigarette smoke
escaping into the dark of night…
you there –
silhouette in the shadows –
enticing me with silent promises
(your eyes have stories to tell)…
i followed you –
once –
unafraid – yet anxious –
into the heart of – unknown –
beneath a star-less sky –
right up to the door of – what if.
(how can you enter without a key?)
scared –
suddenly aware –
(naked as full moon)
how could i continue on?
(oh so tight the chains of insecure).
innocence – sacrificed.
unaware made – poignantly – aware!
you are my secret pleasure –
ember of a fire i cannot resist –
warmth i crave,
yet unable to survive the heat!
(like the moth to the flame)

clutter

the place we sometimes journey to –
is much too dark to stay,
too far away for words,
more deep than sound –
profound as black on white,
or even still,
the very absence of light…
attempting once again to feel,
we dive head first into the –
nothing,
to somehow feel the splash –
of something…
as delicate as if,
more frail than why –
the sanity we seek to find,
evasive –
hides behind the clouds,
that clutter the skyline of our mind!

unbecoming

i feel the sadness in the air –

thick dark clouds concealing the sun –

a tapestry of despair – blocking out all light –

and heavy,

the weight of my sorrow…

where did it go – my youth?

how fleeting the time has passed –

and my journey seems close to its end…

i will not fear –

the un-becoming;

this soul is aged –

this body,

tired from the travel –

and i can finally see –

on the horizon –

new hope,

new possibilities…

this is not the end of my journey,

merely time to change into something a little more

comfortable,

for the flight home…

unencumbered

i need you –

more than – want,

more than – have to have,

as much as – to die for…

i need –

you,

longer than,

forever –

before – now!

addicted to –

the all-of-you,

i cling to your every word,

place them – captive –

in my heart…

and when i find,

you ‘ve gone away –

i pull them out –

remembering the way you looked right into me –

spoke comfort,

calmed storms,

extinguished fires of discontent,

by simply uttering my name!

i carry –

you –

deep within – me,

unencumbered

as light attached to dawn –

you are my sunrise,

guiding light,

that leads me safely home!

a study in left-hand/right-hand function using each side of the keyboard

(Left)

as vast  as aware

eager

we are

wars are waged

as stages fade

scared as egrets caged

we act

dressed as dread

exact as fate

swagger extracted

as tears

are erased

as we age

—————————————————————————————–

 (Right)

my moon – you up…

nil –

my I.

my opinion,

null.

joy only –

you kill;

my moon,

you up.

undeserving

entangled in

my now –

entwined within

my what-will-be,

you…

an anchor fastened to my heart –

essential as even –

air.

what was life before

you –

who drew the line

between indifferent –

and necessary?

was there sunlight-

or did the night – so nonchalant

just close his eyes –

allowing day…

i cherish moments

filled with oh-so-much of you,

grateful,

yet undeserving…

somebody

somebody seldom wonders
what nobody does –
sitting on his oh-so-high perch
a(thinking life revolves
around him)lone…
nobody wanders around
searching for someone,
any (as long as they have
emotion) one.
someday – somebody will
look around –
find – no(not even his
shadow)body –
without light – there can
be no shades of darkness,
no (moving) shadows –
and while somebody
runs into the darkness –
looking for any(now some)body(body),
nobody will be in the light –
becoming the some(although second-rate)body
that existed within reach –
of any(now down on the ground)body…
all a(unnoticed)long!

2014 in review… thank you for being a part of this most fantastic adventure!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,200 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 20 trips to carry that many people.
