Butterflies don’t get trapped in spider webs, so I must be something different…
this web of my own choosing
I even helped to build
its supporting structure
has upheld me
and those I love
through countless trials
invisible, sticky strings
of friendship
holding tight
preventing flight
I don’t want to tear the fabric
for those who still belong
but they’re too heavy to take with me
I am afraid to fly
alone.
I don’t know where I’m going
and I am afraid to stay
grounded
lest my wings (soul) dry up
drop off
the path...

Dissassociation
To crawl into the rabbit hole, and wither away with wonder.
Pulling me under and in, internal inquisition.
Like curling up without a blanket.
Breathing isn't the same.
What should be common sense, I now question.
I find myself sucking all the air I allow myself.
Hypothesized, ionic, blue, electrical current.
Hypnotic engagement, layers.
Down, swirling, spinning, perception, imagination, all flowing.
I try to stop the gravity of flooding awe, but the unraveling mystery alternates my senses.

The NO Sign
Tired
is telling yourself no
but knowing you have to say yes
and so you carry on
Exhausted
is hearing the word NO
screaming at you
but turning down the volume
carrying on your duties
ignoring the shouting
though you hear it
every minute
of every day
Beyond exhausted
is tripping over the word NO
bruising yourself all over
getting up,
carrying on your daily routine
Running head first
into the NO sign
as it smashes you in the face
breaking your nose
and bloodying your mouth ...
is telling yourself no
but knowing you have to say yes
and so you carry on
Exhausted
is hearing the word NO
screaming at you
but turning down the volume
carrying on your duties
ignoring the shouting

Beyond exhausted
is tripping over the word NO
bruising yourself all over
getting up,
carrying on your daily routine
Running head first

as it smashes you in the face

un-therapy
He told me he could show me
the life I'd only dreamed of
that he could turn me
into the person I was always
meant to be
It sounded like the
psychological equivalent of
"Jesus can save you"
and if a dead man
I no longer believe in
couldn't save me from myself
I don't know what this man could do
I don't have all the answers
and I never know what I'm doing
but that doesn't mean
I need a saviour
I want to believe in him
of course
I want to believe
there is...

amiss
she snuck by quietly
a shadow
hung off in the corner
fluttering
in winds so strong last may
i felt needed
as we had slipped away
confused
confined
left within the clutter
clouded and consuming
trembled
marks masking misgivings
another darkened day
i stare into the ether
eternally gone astray
noting
what if this is it
nothing
languid, amiss
it remains
a mess
life
she no longer stays
a shadow
hung off in the corner
fluttering
in winds so strong last may
i felt needed
as we had slipped away
confused
confined
left within the clutter
clouded and consuming
trembled
marks masking misgivings
another darkened day
i stare into the ether
eternally gone astray
noting
what if this is it
nothing
languid, amiss
it remains
a mess
life
she no longer stays

white shirt...
I am
hanging
on the hanger
of hopes
I am
hiding
in his pretty white shirt
thinking that
he will embrace me
n According to him
I am
the button of his shirt
so if I breaks
and falls at his feet
he will throw me away...

Wait For Me (I'm Falling Behind! )
Wait for me,
Please.
O, wait for me,
You're dancing too fast----
so way out of line
Spinning like a top,
I'm falling behind!
Wait for me,
You're loving too quick----
an explosive mine
After the prey,
I'm falling behind!
You're living to swift----
no time to, " be "
so outta sight,
Please wait for me!
Not resting enough----
for or five hours a day?
Whatever is, it can wait;
sleep a while and stay.
You're working too much----
'say you can't spare...
Please.

hauntingly
alone in this
world
alone between
us
alone within
ourselves
despite the
touching
despite the
feelings
despite the
love
ghost moving
from second
to second
blind
and
lost
world
alone between
us
alone within

despite the

ghost moving

FRAGMENTS
I try to recall your voice, but it's a whisper,
Fading like mist in the cold dawn air.
Your face dissolves in the ripples of memory,
A reflection trembling on water’s skin.
I reach for the past, but my hands grasp shadows,
And love lingers only as an aching ghost.
How cruel that time turns love into a ghost,
A presence that lingers but speaks in whispers.
I search for your warmth, find only shadows,
Moments unravel like dust in the air.
I chase the outline of your touch on my skin,
But the years have stolen my memory.
Or...
Fading like mist in the cold dawn air.
Your face dissolves in the ripples of memory,
A reflection trembling on water’s skin.
I reach for the past, but my hands grasp shadows,
And love lingers only as an aching ghost.
How cruel that time turns love into a ghost,
A presence that lingers but speaks in whispers.
I search for your warmth, find only shadows,
Moments unravel like dust in the air.
I chase the outline of your touch on my skin,
But the years have stolen my memory.
Or...
