Struggle for the day
Each taken at great cost
Non-renewable
You only live life once

Season Out Of Sync
Closing out the year
Another cycle ends
Weather juxtaposed
Last year’s snow
Winter’s dread
Seasons pay no heed to dates
Carving up the calendar
Each claiming their own stake
Darkened hours before the light
Sun surfacing slowly
Winter nights draw on
Cold heart
Cold hands and feet
Rise in the morning
Mistake it for dusk
Back to bed
Going back to sleep
Deep thoughts
Deeply troubled
Steep grade, precipice
Subverted and subdued
Perceived extremist
Contradictions in truth
Pain on the surface
Something hidden out of view
Perhaps a ghost, only visiting.
A mystery then. Quiet beauty and inner worlds.
She, lost in thought
I, lost in her.
Was it nothing?
A miscommunication?
Curiosity, or just simple fascination?
I can’t be sure.
A sense of words unspoken.
Burdened with the weight of years.
Titan
Back to life
Back bent under the knowing
I’m Atlas, holding up the heavens
As are you, life shouldered all the same
Worlds within worlds
Condemned to bear the weight
The world without consumes me
Hardly a moment to spare
No more room for neurosis
No personal affairs
Thin air
Navigating lofty ideals
Ever separating fact from the way people feel
When the light fails to pierce
Dark days in the Sun
Lingering in shadow’s essence
World comes undone
Bloodletting
Drop by drop, seeking balance
Fingers scarred from the effort
Battles lost, then fought again
Dulled sense
An endless war
Bloodletting, to live another day
Bring myself back into range
No simple man of letters
Spirit of the words
Lingering years
Son of Earth
Smoke filling lungs
Spirit of the world
No simple man of letters
Let the pages fox and curl
Dog ear the history
Let it fade
Destroy the concept
Lost in the grey
