Trapped

…in the maze of feelings;
unknown,
unknowable,
indecipherable.
How can I ever hope to understand?

They are mysterious.
Baffled,
I am lost,
without a clue.
I crash into barriers I cannot see.

I lay bleeding in my cell.
No hope.
No promise.
Just misery.
There is no future because I am…

feelings a strange thing
deep and raw
penetrating you
making you feel

pulling you out and
exposing you
bringing forth fear
awe and amazement

instinctively we feel
trapped we want to run
hide away and feel safe
but that won't become real

we need to stop and breathe
we need to grab a hold of the
unknown we need to wait
for contentment

"The end is nigh",
Said the man with a sign.
I read, all too weary –
With heart, not with mind.

I wonder how long
The insistence will be,
That I become more "normal"
You know, "Be more like me!"

But you see the world
Through glass that is blue.
While what I envision
Is not the same hue.

And I ask you not
To see as I might
Nor think what you see
Is only what's right.

So, down in the basement
Sit I in the dark
Wishing that to my
Words you would hark.

But you will be only
Hurt by my words.
And consider the path
Us on different roads.

"The end is nigh",
Said the man with a sign.
I know that this path
Is your choice, not mine.

The Olive Branch

Now that we're not talking,
And the walls between us are firmly in place.
I have to ask the question;
Was it really
Worth the
Effort?

I mean, really, the same things
Have been said over, and over again,
Until I wonder aloud;
Did you ever
Really
Listen?

But, it's pretty immaterial now,
We're in a place where only God, or the Devil
Can make a difference;
We're dug in
Way too
Deeply.

And so I walk out the door,
Not even bothering to peck you on the cheek.
Because I don't
Want to
Offer...

Weary now, so tired of fighting,
My defenses completely shattered.
I can only sit, and wait
For…your…judgment.

No longer can I raise my shield
To ward off the blows to my head.
Your words cleave deep wounds.
I am naked.

And I lay in a pool of my own reason.
Oozing ichor of ineffective rationality.
The last rays of the day beam weakly
Upon my remains.

Weep not for the fallen mastermind.
His mastery of minds incomplete.
For that, his intellect must die –
Emotions triumph.

This day…

Fingers poised, like eagle's talons,
Hovering gently on unseen drafts.
Ready to pounce on the slightest tremor
From the underbrush of thoughts
Hiding, trembling, watching, wary.
Thoughts that wish to play in the sunshine –
But can't, lest they be snatched up
And crushed in the grip of those fingers
That wish only to display them as trophies
On the pages of discourse.
Those fingers clasp and unclasp –
Anxious to snatch up a verb, a fragment
And fling it's still-beating heart to the page.
Where, in the coldness of scrutiny, it dies
In the company of so many others
But ultimately, alone – by itself –
Surrounded by…space…black upon white.
No mercy here, the fingers search out more
…prey. Another victim to snatch up
And dispose on this barren field.
Thoughts, so fleeting, so beautiful, so fragile.
Hiding in fear lest they suffer the fate
Of their brethren, whose essence fades
Under the glare of the audience
Who comes to see the work of those fingers…

Poised like eagle's talons.

here I am
lost
lost in thought
in mindless fantasy

as I go
about
about my life
my daily leave me be

The world's awash
In a sea of white.
Feathery travelers
Descend and alight.

Each tree, each limb
Enrobed like a king
Hosts birds – All mute,
Nary one sings.

Near-winter morn,
Skies steely grey.
Thoughtfully looking,
Begins the new day.

If only each moment
Were silent like this.
Then would my thoughts
Not go so amiss.

So through the window
I look at the birds,
And wish I were like them
Seen, but not heard.

Today -
The voices have quieted,
The tension has eased,
The pressure is off,
The stampede has passed.

Today –
My eyes are open,
My ears do hear,
My throat un-tightened,
My muscles relaxed.

Today –
The grey sky, clearing,
The menace retreats,
The storm clouds receding,
The sun coming out.

Today –
I can think straight,
My path seeming true.
Where will my I travel,
Alone, not with you?

life is full
of the hustle and bustle
of people moving
too and fro

so many people
so many stores
so little time
my feet are sore

craziness and chaos
following me about
making me crazy
I just wanna shout

yet before we know it
it'll all be done
and hopefully our gifts
are enjoyed and fun

the build up and
anticipation will come crashing down
as we're left in a heap
of presents and no one around

the gifts are empty attempts,
instead of what we really need
but the words go unnoticed
even as we plead

New possibilities;
Will this time be the one?
Will my fortune change?
Will I make the grade?

Old doubts;
Have I blundered again?
Did I impress, or depress?
Should I even bother?

Self-assurance;
I am what I am.
I offer my best.
I am as good as any.

Calm acceptance;
What will be, will be.
Find another challenge.
Make today the best.

Gold stays buried in the mud until someone recognizes its worth.

The snow has fallen, the storm is past –
And all the metaphors, like children, come out to play.

Of "blankets of white", and "hushed winters morn"
The pundits speak, snug and warm in their lairs.

While everyday people toil in the chilled air
With shovels, heaping towers in tribute to the ice.

Sore backs and aching arms give testament –
"We fought against the torrent from the sky."

None speak of their hardship, their minstrel is silent.
Only the bare ground – soon covered – is witness.

Who knew?

Open my mind
To infinite possibilities of life.
Wonders await,
What treasures abound, what strife?

We hope for joy
Life's rich bounty full of pleasure.
A thin veneer
O'er lay a core bereft of treasure.

But seek for hope,
And turn back gloom of night.
Though darkness calls
Forever seek the light.

Not a whit, we defy augury. There is a special providence in the fall of the sparrow. If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come. The readiness is all. Since no man of aught he leaves knows, what is't to leave betimes? Let be.

new life, wild tomorrows
shattered chains, fallen sorrows
twisted marshes, binding asps,
a second skin, a shredded past,

this will go down on my permanent record

"T.G.I.F."
They cried with a roar!
Slapping my back,
They rushed towards the door.

With thoughts about Christmas,
No one took much heed,
That all were not joyous,
That some were in need.

"But who would be saddened?
Who'd not have much joy?
This season of plenty,
For girls, yea for boys!"

But some sit in darkness,
And some sit in cold.
Some clutch at their coats
All torn, full of holes.

We think of ourselves,
Our kids full of glee.
Forgetting the many,
That have not a tree.

So I'll forego presents,
And take what I've got,
To help out those people
Who's children have not.

The clock ticks "12:01" –
A New Year, a new day.
This construct that marks
The passage of time,
The cycle of movement
Of this place around that thing.
Is it really new?
Or have we just
Returned
To where we once were
Before…again.
This celestial Merry-Go-Round –
Grab a ring kids!
Now what?
What do I do with my shiny…
Prize?
I've been here before.
I'll be here again.
Roundy-round,
I'm not dizzy!
Am I?
Time…will…tell.

There are "two sides to every coin".
True, but is either side "right"?
Is "heads" better than "tales"?
They both spend the same.

My view looks out
Over the same world as yours.
You see details that I miss.
I see vistas that you ignore.

We're not so different, you and I.
But we are worlds apart.
Is there no bridge that can span?
Is there no word that can soothe?

I wish not to fight, but
I will not be constrained;
To your minutia,
And you not to my expanse.

Your apron strings will not bind.
Your tears will not melt.
I am strengthened against,
Lest I fall again and dissolve.

Come, ride away with me!
Let the coin stand on edge.
An impossibility that can happen…
If…you…try
