rungs and necessary elements…

when if turns into is –
tomorrow,
yesterday –
i’ll still be waiting here for you,
midnight anticipating dawn…
 
long –
the shadows on the road –
with miles left yet to travel –
but i’ve grown weary of the journey…
 
time used to be a friend of mine –
until the days behind were greater than ahead.
 
quickly –
earnestly –
i grasp for one more rung on this ladder of my life –
ambitious –
determined –
seeking consistency
in a mercurial world…
 
can you reach out a hand today?
this friend indeed –
is more than just a friend in need –
and you,
much more than just the axis to a world
ever so quickly turning!

ineptitude

 

preeminent misconception –
lonely,
does not rely on being –
alone…
days – there are –
sun shining,
not a single solitary cloud in the sky.
yet – shadows,
deep as midnight darkness –
(secrets hide in the dark,
gnashing their teeth –
overly animated and eager.)
at what moment did you decide –
indifference?
what memory – unsuppressed –
tipped the scale?
yesterday is mine.
holding your hand.
strolling through – uncertainty –
certain!
(i cannot explain sadness –
even gravity cannot hold so tight!).
if – as easy as making a wish –
you would come true –
i would not be on this bridge –
(solace when touching deep water…)
angry at myself for the need –
yet unable to refrain…
inadequacy:
the most un-healable pain!
