dog-eared

Contributed by elle on Tuesday, 8th December 2009 @ 07:43:29 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



is it not appropriate but to keep returning. . .
laboring manic backroads, oblivious to the dust,
that of which I cannot escape


seasonally unraveling



pointless



to picture-less frames, burnt edged
empty of accompaniment
celluloid offerings. . . blistering. . . lilting
in a ransom of smoke. . . smoldering into the blackest
nay, into that smokeless nothing


then, will I honor you
oh wingless & abandoned
possession
or will I dance, expressionless on the roof of sanity
where I can only chase a feeling
that solemn stymied ache. . .


ink-stained tears, mine
fall to the page
an offering. . . flooded words of forgiveness




as time, a gentle saviour
moves so slowly
crawls. . . so
as to complicate me. . .

I'd second Tommy's sentiments, beautifully written.
