Nobody's watching this,
You're holding my hand.
Outwardly watching this,
Bubbling inside.
It's been oh so long,
Lost in moments overeager.
Hopelessly laughing,
I'm gripping your hand.
Intense and bemused,
Crying inside.
Is been oh so long,
Waiting for this moment.
I'm holding on
Like its all there is
Or ever will be
And I am the only one
You have,
Or ever shall know.
I could happen
On these feelings,
But I've known they're
Here so long.
I could live
Lives never ending.
I'd get bored though,
Right or wrong.
It's the strangest
Kind of feeling,
Saying nothing
Tied by tongue.
In the moment
You don't sense it.
You pass through me
Then you're gone.
I could follow
And I'm tempted,
I could catch up
But it's wrong.
Try to force
The unexpected.
You'd guess my name,
I'd turn to stone.
What's left?
I'll be defensive.
Find a corner,
Bite my tongue.
Curse the stars
Berate my senses.
Wind up dead
And all alone.
I say no!
This page lays empty.
I shall fill it
With a song.
I will open
My defenses,
Pen a sonnet,
Loose my tongue.
In a fit
Of inspiration
I am lighted
By your form.
You're a vision
Held by waters
Fit to burst
Yet, ever strong.
What's left now
But to show you?
I am wracked
By shaking bones.
You may find me
In a moment.
Frozen hard.
Love make me strong!
Help me tell her,
See me through this,
I'll be you're slave
Forever more.
For with her
I shall conquer
Any challenges
In store.
Constantly dividing.
Cells becoming.
Cells outnumber.
Self encumbered.
Blocked from something.
Acts of nothing.
Always numbing
What's becoming.
Whipping through the winds
Desperate to see
Just a glimpse of the sun
Or the passing of trees.
Unable to pause
I am still on the move.
Washing on by
Forced into the groove.
Impossible sights
Blurred by momentum
Distinct in a moment
I'm blind to the outcome.
No time for reaction
Becoming a dream
I'm drawing the lines
As I'm loosing the seam.
The light that guides you
And the fire that burns.
A river flows
Over the falls that churn.
The wind refreshes
As it eats through stone.
The soil that takes you
Brings a flower grown.
Running hard
Desperate for escape.
Smashing through the trees.
Breaking through.
Slowed to a crawl
Branches thick like bone.
Smashing at the trees.
Breaking down.
Strangled lungs
Amidst the leaves.
Wafting arms.
Stopped by the wind.
Eyes are closing
Lids like fire doors.
Breath like fire.
No more.
Pitching in the darkness
I think I'm alone.
Fumbling for answers
And something to hold.
Less of an answer
More of a thought.
Without my dear anchor
I'm lost and distraught.
Light starts to enter
Just as I shout.
Nothing obscene
Yet I'll make one no doubt.
I'm lost and distorted.
Blind and confused.
I'm openly weeping.
Stunned and bemused.
