A deathly stare from across this lonely room, but its anger is lost on me today. I sit in the most indecipherable air of thoughtfulness, cold yet warm from the tattered memories that run in sequence through my mind’s eye. Images of people, times and places merge into a haze of equilibrium, soft to [...]  0:57am, as I peer out into the impenetrable darkness that surrounds me. My breath freezes like a fog lost in time, and the walls are closing in on me. The sound my every movement is reverberated to a piercing scrape, entering my ear and extracting my sense of reason. My memory of the past [...] Every time I stand tall, I watch myself sit back down. Every time I think beyond my means, I watch myself contract. This is not an end. This is the start of the book, that has as many chapters as I have lives. I promise myself each night that tomorrow is going to be [...] Walking through another door, but it’s so very different this time around. The images haven’t changed, the sounds are all still the same, but my feelings seem amplified to the point of neurosis. Standing looking, your face, your smile, lighting the other side of a room we once shared. Each step I take is [...] Slip, slip away, remnants of a shattered distraction plague my mind today. The sun still rises but it seems hollow inside, devoid of the heat that warms my soul. Perhaps it’s the rain, perhaps it’s the same, perhaps I should stop talking in paradoxical lines. I know the day will save me, but that [...] April rain falls on January’s child, blotting a copybook with ink from another time and place. Looking past the landscape I see a couple in absolute love, holding each other as though their days were numbered like a discarded lottery ticket. My focus changes to a bird soaring in the sky, blazing through a [...] The fan buzzes on, an annoyance that barely reaches my consciousness today. Time flies, but to where I have no clue, just fragmented bitter-sweet memories of the the smiles we exchanged yesterday. This room seems smaller today, perhaps it’s my over active imagination, perhaps it’s the walls closing in. I write my sentence, another [...] Standing cold and alone, on a platform at the edge of the earth. Searching for meaning in the emptiness, finding it in your eyes. A glint of emotion, another story told. We talked without speaking, we felt without feeling, a touch laced with innocence, a kiss of salvation, on the day we missed the [...] Walking past reflections of a life I once lived, transparent images of friends and the ones I once loved. This road seems never-ending, but I’m not looking for a way out, I’m just walking further than I ever have before. Past the old brick houses down memory lane, waving goodbye to the old lady [...] I paint my picture, you write your sentence, but the meaning gets lost in a stream of technicalities. Details that always seem to drag us down, drowning in specifics, choking on abstractions of the mind. A delicate blue moon stained with an icy glow, watches over me tonight. Just observing my movements like a [...] |
