but i couldn't feel it

but i couldn't feel my own laugh
so i went into . . .

and a wilderness of

and all i found was

the mirage i see is real
always before me,
within my grasp
but just out of reach.
you keep running from the obvious
wanting what impression has pressed
upon the memory created by association, . . .

i’m going to forget tonight
maybe shred your words,
over and over until there's
nothing left, or I might just
let the night blow them away
with my headache.
my steel defenses
crumbled . . .

nights of light and restraint
became wild and free.
a product of the hunger for meaning,
a creation of the attraction
to flashes of light at night.
but it wasnt the same no more.

time flies
and night draws near.
pillows become sodden
and hearts become heavy.
oh, the things we do for love.
thoughts fly
to faraway places, loved ones.
memories come pouring forth
like the . . .

Snippet -I
His dull scissors fell from a hand too old.
The red dirt of a village road ahead.
The village barber's hairs flow in arid air

i came into your room
to kiss you on the cheek
but you scrambled to kiss my lips.

eyes darting as you try . . .

everyday
you just pine away
in grief unspoken, unshown
unrevealed, in blind stoicism.

your sadness generates more sadness
and your painting hangs on the empty . . .

God is a composer
And i'm his best symphony,
Built with harmony of soul and spirit
Built in harmony with him.
The melody of his genius
Flows in my heartstrings.
I'm a marvel.
God is a painter . . .

life was a river
good fish, bad fish.
i swam with purpose,
sometimes riding the
poor man’s horse,
sometimes hitting reality hard.

from your mistakes.
so i rewound time,
from my . . .

yes, i came.
not one of your
many expectations,
but still i came.
i can see your eyes,
mere slits, wide shut
the struggle to break the
stronghold of the playpen;
the vise grip of teen loves.

i wore a face
that wasn't mine,
behind this mask of perfection.
but it only takes one truth
to reveal a million truths.
it was my best face
but it was a borrowed face.
you lent me your face

to be the other guy.

Part I [Sanguine]

with an ethereal

defied remedies

voices fill up the
empty spaces inside,
echoing through me
in their relentless
pursuit of each other.

because i'll find no
solace in the single
tear that drops, along
to the beat . . .
