Image for the poem The long way

The long way 'round


Hearing that heart... beat
little sighs escape
with every exhale

Twilight surrounds;
a small crooked half smile
tenderly gives me away

Dark endeavors twist tightly
all but forgotten,
my hollow empty death throes
 
Feelings radiate contrary illusion
 skewed, unclear
jumbled mid confusion

Specks of reality,
like random glitter
sparkle amidst the sun's ego

Refractive heat, soul-warms
inviting possibility
to openly thrive

Each heel meeting toe
stepping purposely ... closing in
welcomes back

What always was mine

Making peace
between past and present
renascent togetherness

strides towards




their rewritten future.
