Telling None is Telling All
Deep is dark and dark is deep
help to hope
and hope to sleep
and rack my brain to stop the think
the think that will not let me sink
into the dark I long for so
and yet the dark won't let me go
When dark is light and light is black
Looking forward
Looking back
Is new so new as old is old
Is fourth time charmed
or third time gold
Is every ticking moment sane
when all the seconds are in vain.
So as I toss and turn in
pools of bleach
which subtly soothe the scrapes
of tissue being blown away
into the night
by me
the creep
And will I think another week
when weeks have been behind me looking forward to this time
and nothing's really working out
and life has ceased to rhyme
and longing love and strengthened bonds
grow apparently weaker by the day
I wish I could just say to you
but hell,
what would I say?
"Old is there, it's loud and clear, its happened thrice before. But do past musings truly count if
love's worth fighting for?"
War is war and end is end but dwindling memories pretend to speak the truth and lace with lies the long dead person I despise
who was me and me was who
Kick myself
You'll be the shoe.
So giving up seems what I'll 'do'
but knowing true gives way to true
I suppose its been nice
knowing you
I'll pack my bags
won't bother you
for my emotions always smother you...
Mystery is metaphor
and metaphor is rhyme
and reading must go space by space
and line by
line
by
line.
