In Time

Waiting for light's guidance
To bring you close to me again.
You are awake,
So I will wait in patience.

The Guide

Coincidental…
Light's guidance.
Voice silenced.
Body held.
Light felt.
Your fate with mine.
Together in light.

Small Mind Over Beautiful Mind

Small Mind
Over
Beautiful Mind

Each pill I take,
For loved ones sake
And not my own,
My body and mind
Slow ly
Break.

The Spy

Lovely man
Turned bad
My lovely spy.
Now he speaks through
A limited amount of lines...
I'll never forget
My lovely spy.

Free

Freedom of mind
All that is found
Is the torture of the body.
As a butterfly
After finding its wings
To only crash on ceilings.

Humans

Humans…
Imperfect.
Serving darkness…
Mechanical.
Hard, fragile.

Humans…
Imperfect.
Serving light…
Natural.
Soft, beautiful.

In Shadow

The corner,
Behind the wooden board,
A woman stood.
Her face in shadow
In no want of light.
Laughed from darkness…
Not as in night.

Contemplation

I sit
The chair in angles
I hear
The noise that strangles
I watch
The routine tangled
I eat
The food that poisons
I live
The life of no choices

To Lost Love

I would like…
You to throw me up in the air…
My body twirling around its axis
Then slowly letting gravity bring me back down
Into your arms.
