Focus undone
to protect the story
Weary, but
unbranded glory
Undreamable scenarios
viewed
without knowing
Ties to heart strings
with unraveled
apprehension showing
Soft shelter
grinded harsh
Notes from a
saxaphone
crooning a
farce
Illegally longing
for
a righteous intent
Feeding a thirst
for energy
spent
Oh
the yearning
for vision
stable
Met instead with
passion
sacrificed on the
table
Unobscured by
cataracted
promises
lost and found
Like a heartbeat
missing
in the ultrasound
Stigmatized by
careless decisions
Dismayed by the
editors revisions
Blindfolded
by the cheese
in the traps
Beads of
chained jewelry
snapped
Bouncing rhythmically in deep unsearchable cracks-
Bouncing...
Rhythmically...
In...
Deep...
Unsearchable...
Cracks...
Mazes too intricate
to navigate
alone
A hearth too
narrow
for the plaque
'Home Sweet Home'
Pulsating warmth
compressed damp
with support
Facing a
biased judge
in court
Easing emotional migraines
piercing the picture
A garish
hot yellow
naive
future
Mouths spewing
obscenities
immune to the
threat of soap
Heralding a past
flourishing with
redemptive hope
Shackled
to the present
the exhaustive joy
Self indulgent
leisure
a collector's
priceless toy
And a future
inches
away,
locked with
a misplaced key
The siren song
skims the lazy
ripples of the sea
Seeking refuge in the
folds
of your ear
Novels of expectations
wasted in unshed tears
Coaxing peace and a
pregnant
connection
Hedging all bets
to be the
exception
Begging
oh so
silently
Just
to be
seen
clearly
