...

meaningless words, mimic
depthless thoughts, mirror
shallow living, desire
profound end,

tuneless, and
voiceless, and
forsaken, and
death,

of a song bird,
without conjunctions.

...

your eyes,
speak,
volumes,
insincere,
shallow,
irreverent,
beguiling,
and yet,
i surrender,
unwillingly,
willing,
a streak,
of need (perhaps),
perhaps,
even (with my),
lust (and my),
wanting,
approval,
of this, and
of all,

of me.

...

there may be,
answers,
after all of you,
has been erased,
from this mind,

the possibility of you,
across the street,
around the corner,
a decade,
from that image,

captured vividly,
astonished, agonized,
acknowledging,
the possibility, of
this barren psyche,

the impossibility,
of like,
of love,
then,
there,

but maybe, not
forever...

...

this may be all there is,
this winding road has met its premature end,
in the sunset,
over a cliff,

having exhausted all that was,
of hope, of anger,
of laughter,
and those tears,

there is nothing left,
to do, but to give in,
a deep breath,
a long dive,

but there is no end to be found,
in denial,
in the allure of those relentless waves,
in the deep dive off the shallow edge,

and i am left here,
in my own company,
wrangling with this wretched living,
this existence,

yesterday, today and
maybe tomorrow.
