Image for the poem Haze

Haze

Potent as the silence
That lies between us
Desperate as the incense
Trying to mask this

Lingering bouquet
I wish it was flowers
Echoes slowly decay
Into the lingering hours

Slow my mind
Dream another time
The truth I find
Has no rhythm or rhyme

I'm slowly fading away
Find it harder to breathe
Smoke another and watch it fall away
Vision goes and I've nothing left to say

Slow my mind
Dream another dream
The truth I find
Is everything is always
As it seems!

Don't you ever think
You need to speak to me
That way
Don't you ever think
You need to speak to me
At all!

Clear as the sweat glistens
The truth that I find
Is no one listens
All I've lost, is my mind

Potent as the silence
That lies between us
