Falling Awake Poems

Rough manly lines and a stark striking blue
Jump out against the season's moody sky
Tracing your depths, my flesh colored anew
I'm jolted from sleep inside my mind's eye
...

It seems I don't know quite how to respond,
To the pain present, within and beyond,
So, my subconscious defaults to the lead,
With habitual patterns, I proceed…
...

A white fine toothed comb
Runs through my being
Neuron knots de-conditioning
Liberating, freeing
...

Not moving on or away,
Time passes- it elapses,
And I'm moving forward-
with no timeline,
...

I'm coasting through my life,
Many chances unseen,
Perfection or failure-
I know nothing between.
...

The wind still whispers your name,
I strain for messages it may contain,
But you're dead and gone, all the same,
Still, the wind whispers your name.
...

Frozen in stagnancy,
The steel blanket hovers,
Looming across my sky.
...

With my tires crunching below,
I find the ground passes so fast,
Appearing smooth under my board.
We carve through colored canopies,
...

Eyelids peel away
Pupils enlarge
Neural synapses open
...

Waves seep over sand,
The Sun crests,
We're hand in hand.
...
