This dark abyss
I know not
But sometimes
All too well
I do have
That frame of mind
But can you catch your fish
And hope it’s big?
The dark deep waters running
Still underneath your scars
The skin burns
Aching for more
I do not need anymore
Of this I cannot say
Will you be there today?
Where are you I ask
I ask again
Repeatedly get the same answer
I do not know
What it is this life
It stores and bursts
A balloon without air
I breathe and sink
Into the dark abyss
That loud bang
Of the window
Startles me
To know
This is just…
Finish that sentence
And I will let go
But a period less
Timeless phase
Electrifies those nerves
You can’t walk straight
Into this path
That was carved
The road ahead
Destiny and fate
Or a pile of choices
You hate
Being there
Over here
You can’t stay
Anywhere forever
You will go
Distance yourself from
Come back
Yes I am here
But wait
There I am
Sitting at the computer
Thinking
Of an end
But the means to it
Can you find
Yourself
But are you lost
In thought
Of who I am
Is of an eternal quest
For those things you crave
You must pay
A price
That’s worth
But who are you to judge
What you are swallowed by
Is not in your hand
Destiny it is
But only when you sift
Through the abyss
I flow
Sinking deep
Into the shadows
Sit outside
And lament
The part you can’t find
Is what you seek
A terrible pleasure
Or pain
While it whistles
Tickling your ears
Strands of hair
Fly away
Dandelion of dreams
Soft and white
But never seen
Or caught
And crushed in the hands
Or a cruel smile
Oh yes, there is a plan
To forge and fulfil
Will never be easy
To achieve that eternal desire
Of a breezy summer
With flowers and wind
You can sing
A tune caught in your memory
Plays throughout the night
As the water gushes in
I kick and squeal
To a terrible ringing
Alert now to the green and blue
Reflections of what I once knew
Of the dirty mud laden dregs
On the freshly born earth
Weeps a new tired heart
Filled with secrets
Are the pots of gold
Never enough to satisfy
Satiate the old hunger
With your mouth
And hands are required
To reach your endless pit
You must leave the bottom
Of your rock hard base
You rise
Into that abyss
You sink twice
