135. Ash

Thoughts gather towards a mystery,
Doing their best to learn from history.

With ancients rising from the grave,
Spirit's appear to haunt my soul.

A run down mirror reflects a hungry ghost
Constantly searching for truer answers.

Words condensate into empty wishes,
Wanting a map towards past riches.

Spirits guide me towards the empty,
All that is here is but a memory.

Your gaze reminisces in front of my eyes.
My vision blurries, wondering if they're lies.

Through yearning, I make this my home.
Hoping looking inward is satisfactory.

Playing the tape on repeat to distortion.
Putting my hands focus on restoration.

With imperfection, things look brand new,
Is what I made what's genuinely true?

Scrambling to reveal the perfect mimic,
Earnestness is lost to romantic airs.

Through burnout alone, I light my fire,
To allow embers to consume you to retire.

171. Kissing For Air

Yearning branded it's mission: Needing you to avoid oblivion. Breathing in a life of craving. With a hand wet from all these tears, No longer able to hold on to you, Everything slipping so soon. Breathlessness giving into fear, Praying for lips to taste sweet honeydew, Dying into an aftertaste of the empty moon. My ears slapped by the wolf's howl, Waking me up from the dream, Back into my senses. To feel my full heart beating, Jumping high for the heavens, Revealing an unavoidable intimacy. "Isn't it a joy to feel so alive?" It's silence screamed.

179. Healing

Is this an original by me? Passed on by whom? This thought. Before I knew it, I believed it. "Broken." Just fuel for the fire. Everything pointing at "me." A "me" who could someday be fixed. Pill after pill, Decade after decade, Affirmation after affirmation. "Who" believes "I" am broken? When no one appeared, For certain, I knew. The belief had to be surrended, To see "broken" as a lie, For it to be liberated.

182. Little Hello

It was a little bid from me, But a million pieces, Make a big farewell. Feelin' like I'm stranded at sea. Feelin' like I should say less. Feelin' like I can't tell... That I miss you. But you knew. So I withdrew. Not a single good-bye spoken, Not pretending to be a monk in zen, Not able to bypass again. The apathy wasn't clear to be neglect, With breadcrumbs spelling "maybe yet." So why is my pillow wet like a wreck? A celebration I wanted you to see, But no words is all she says. There will be no wedding bells.
