to nothing…

to make it stop.
the endless sound of waves upon the shore.
the hissing of the setting sun – sliding without reluctance into the sea.
the wailing of the dying – day –
sad victim to the night.
to simply make it –
stop.
 
in the sweet escape of that moment –
removed from the evidence of sound –
no contemplation of why,
or what,
or even reference to suppose.
 
in that sacred situation of nothing –
to merely – be.
 
how seductive – thoughts of unbecoming.
to exit – quiet – from the courtroom of disallowed.
free at last from chains of should.
unbound – no longer – by petitions of presume.
pardoned from occurrence of something –
unobliged –
obligated to –
nothing…

i – in bondage…

what i saw in you –
i needed to see in me.
and what i felt for you –
was what was missing from my life.
 
like a hand given –
but not taken,
a glance –
not returned…
 
desperation –
a weight – too heavy for this heart to hold,
chains of bondage –
locked tight,
and you,
 
the key!
