What Never Comes

 

Flying

too close to the sun

Reeling

from nights on the run

Yearning

for what never comes

Dying

alone — unbecome

 

**

 

New Words

 

Freeing his echo

he broke with the past

Leaving the reference

and voices recast

 

Lifting the moment

above and beyond

Each breath coming back

— new words to his song

 

**

 

Missteps

 

A quicksand entrapment

lost in its mire

Drowning inclement

— fleeing the fire

 

**

 

Night Winds

 

The desert

rekindles  

Your essence

on fire

 

Strange voices

and faces

Incarnate

desire

 

A lizard

lies watching

One eye

rolling back

 

As night winds

uncover

The devil’s

— lost tracks

 

**

 

In The Vacuum

 

Silence

has a sound

that hides

in your fear

 

Those questions

unasked

bypassing

your ear

 

It seeps

and it enters

when lost

in your guile

 

And shouts

in the vacuum

of quiet

— denial

 

**

 

In Debt To The Moment

 

Beautiful pain

Glorious suffering

Exploding regret

Immune to the sound

 

Embracing today

Releasing the memory

In debt to the moment

— lost and refound

 

**
