Darkly you draw me,

The skulls smile and welcome me,

leaving marks in the light

hiding under the door.

Found by a gentle breeze,

deep smiles of shining beauty

bathed in slowly swirling

Shimmering infinity –

The tender beauty in your eyes,

The warm gaze of a gentle glow,

while face down in questions

talking to the wall;

chemicals fuming tentacles

across an empty sky.

Words can trick and tease,

tantalise and please…

The meaning of life is:

to live

words silenced

with a kiss

Silence calls

the sound of nothing.

No any

No thing

No deathly

hum.

No ifs

But thank you.

You’re listening.

Wounds of the mind

cling to the familiarity of sadness.

Drip-fed addictions

waste my skin away.

My words are dead.

Life is staring at a broken screen.

The cold face of time

stalks the spinning room:

Clicks staring at the numbness,

Until they stop too.

A once delicate acorn

now shades me;

the leaves breathing

and quivering

with the sun.

Greens and browns heave

the chilled tangles of roots and limbs

and spaces hidden in between.

A warm pulse thaws

the skeletal yearning,

until frozen sighs

return, again.

Unseen,

Fear appears on the pillow

and shakes the shadows;

Casting dreams

with desperate whispers

of days that cannot be.

I am:

I feel;

I touch;

I hear;

I see.

I say

I want.

I try;

I hurt;

I fear.

I hope.

I dream.

I love.

I wonder.

I am
