“A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds.” -Percy Bysshe Shelley

Never mind
There was something important
I was supposed to be doing
with my life
right now
instead
I look for
a purpose
and find myself
in your gaze
living the way we once did
one more time
it felt different despite how
intimately we held onto
memories
of the way some feelings
make us forget
ourselves.

A genda
Today, I will write,
Paint, read, make marks in space(s)
Empty of purpose ( ).

Fits of all-timers disease
You must find it in Here
and protect it when you do.
Fight for it, for now,
if that feels right.
Do not let it wander off...
That should have been enough to know
all we needed
something special left for us-
most certainly we will know it when we see it.
Perhaps other things came first, easier and
stood taller,
in your face,
consuming precious attention, a natural resource
short in so many ways
making us feel we need more,
we feel need and have to have,
what we think we need for others.
Listen, that forgetting feeling,
somethings are slipping,
the way guilt works its oily way
inside to undo forward motion,
or recognized
as the inability to see
likeness anymore
it was lying there
when we passed
over the top,
afraid of depth, holding our breath and
acclimating ourselves,
we forgot what we came in Here for...

Flashy fades
A flashy glimmer like cut gem facets
pointed from deep inside those eyes
your two, made it seem
we knew what was coming.
We did not.
It looks like we have something important to do.
We will wait.
Honestly,
if we continue this way
all falls into place just so
we know more
about manipulation
and virtual reality
will it help...
Do not answer that. Let it ring.
Strange. This dry confidence permeates
by civilian ardor.
Suddenly, we had trouble
breathing.
The Progress.
Some gasped, as if they could take more.
Others sobbed in sync.
Most of us never knew
nor cared to quarry
deeper.
Distribution thins out
when princes runout
of fission for our future necessities
sparing only
cherished memories.
Patience. It will always come
for you.

Backwash
