22 Catch (+3)

When you’re out of options

—it’s no time to make a choice

 

(Dreamsleep: May, 2020)

 

 

Dreams Forgotten

 

Whispers before me,

echoes behind

 

Voices portending,

words to remind

 

Sleepless imprisoned,

nights linger on

 

Shadows approaching

—memory gone

Tip Of The Spear

 

An army of lions…

led by a lamb

 

An army of sheep…

led by a lion

 

The fangs out in front

first bite is the deepest

 

A wound more than fatal

—destruction sublime

Fated To Go

 

Does trying to disprove
 what I believe
 make you feel better about what
 you don’t…

 

Is your insecurity
 crying out
 that maybe I feel something
 you won’t…

 

Does the depth of my commitment
 bother you so
 leaving you distant
 fearful and alone…

 

Like a branch that’s now broken
 swinging high in the tree
 one strong gust
  —and you’re fated to go
