What Crosses My Mind

  • Being Alone

    I suppose it’s a state of mind, My world crumbling around me. Little sound bytes of tyranny Veiled by loyal mouthpieces. We sometimes feel isolated By surges of the unthinkable. We wonder out loud some times, Believing the mystery awaiting. Even then the facade is stronger, Our words are tied in knots. When a wish…

  • Turmoil

    When what we believe In our hearts and soul, Becomes layered in anxiety Wishing not to be retold. Same saga, a different day, And the adage, ‘old news’ Shreds us while alone inside. We keep waiting for a something, A normalcy exists, Well out of reach. We’re trying to lean forward, Yet, somewhere a confusion…

  • Single Notions

    I stood alone in the morning, Wondering my state of mind. I looked around my world, This was all it is, I thought. A clear mind revolves around  Us while we try to understand. A framework of vulnerability Is often the motive needed. Standing still an autumn day Reminds us of lovely memory. There’s a…

  • Strong Presence

    When the immediate becomes Our primary focus. Measures of time put aside, With memory and somber moments. All quiet reminders, what once was. Today it lays ahead yet we caution  Ourselves to peek too far. A full moon suggests our psyche, While deep inside we are safe. Bless the moment when the now Begins our…

  • Silent Recluse

    I wish I could just disappear seems so likely, yet I can’t really find a way, keep wanting to come back, don’t even take the time, to really unwind, such a tight grip on my state of mind. Hide me in the light and I’ll walk away, put me in the shadows and life remains…

  • All The What Ifs

    I think we all look for it, some answer, some solution, we spend our days thinking about what our next move is, or why we choose the path we do. I once thought I knew about love, the invigorating feeling, of seeing it in her eyes. I once held her by my side, and for…

  • Losing Our Identity

    Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered what your life is really about? When the day may well have been spent trying to abate the confusion, and regain the confidence necessary to go along with the tasks at hand. Have you ever wondered why your mind feels compelled to ask forgiveness for all…

  • This Peace in Our Lives

    We do share an anxiety Achy legs Grab a thermometer Now a strange earache out of Nowhere really normal anywhere. We live in high risk Hyperventilating our every move. And then we try to calm Try to recall the common cold … Well not as much tonight as I have let This certain earache Rule…

  • When In A State

    I would if asked, Suggest my world an easy one, Though to the onlooker, It may seem quite the opposite.   Depends upon the day, I might quickly suggest, Have I been, browbeaten again, Or just left for dead, I’d want to guess.   I wish there might be a time, Like the night I…

  • To Know The Right Way

    Oh, to go beyond the grasp, the tangles that keep reminders alive, there is the mystery of the mind, what to turn off, what to feed, what to settle in, so that moving forward seems a reliable resolve to the repudiating repulsion of time.   Yes, without speaking in tangible terms, leave it to the…
