exposed, vulnerable
and never healing.
an aspiration
for the weak willed
or the delusional.
-The parasites.
I learned to suture memories.
I am free,
as a rock in the wind.

I am free,

The well runs deep
but the pump is broken.
and I have neither handle
nor rope
to pull my bucket.
a reservoir of wonder
and potential-
of love and miracles,
lie under the surface-
untapped,
undisturbed
unrealized.
I would cry
but I cannot reach my tears.
In the presence of one’s self
please,
do not lie.
Hiding between
friends or
family.
or
community.

A thirst for
emptiness
and peace
eludes the Buddha.
Ignorant in his bliss,
and
Boring
in his stillness.
the peak of turmoil
is the true eye
-of the storm?
calmly
the soul spits
and you cry.
you cry because
you know
Nothing.
Perpetrating silence
deafens my soul.
an explosion of nothingness

and
clarifies.
but it is still dark,
and I cannot see.
Float inside.
I grab one.
and it vanishes.
questions arise
with the falling moon.
History
repeats itself,

I
Fly.
Please.
I
Want
To
Fly.
I don’t really care
yet I do
which is why you find me here
blabbing to
you.

So much, is
too much

stagnancy,

loneliness.
I seek
what once burned
through
yearning.
I miss
the joy and wonder
of rediscovered
youth.
when Freedom
was not
a dirty word
Or a shadowy
spectre-
Elusive
and haunting.
Haunted,
like my father.
It was
My motor
My compass
My lover
My sweet
yielding
masterful
compliant
Lover.
It was Mine.
I cleaved unto her,
stealing not brief moments
of ecstasy,
But embracing a life
plush with loving kindness.
Where are you Lover?
Must I needs blaze alone?
Wilt that bringst thee closer
To my flame?
I shall guide and protect thee,
Even as had thou once
shown me
my potential.
I love thee
And
wilt find thee
when I find me
again.
The ironic thing is, I really don’t like cats, and 45% of them don’t like me.
and
I need some more Yoda in my life.
sometimes I catch glimpses of me in the distance, but when I run up to hold me…
I am gone.
