Writings - Poetry - 2009

Time unravel
Let me know I still exist
In this world less existential
Pull me back
Draw me inward
Fill me up with this life eternal

I am so willful
I am so willfully lost
Tracing moments, catapulted across
Greener dreams... Greener memories
Fleeting glimpses of unseen enemies
This bombardment of casualty
Is my burden to bare
And I bare it for want of growth

I extend my fingers
As if they were limbs
To stretch out
And touch this solid ground I do not walk on

What use is this battle
Against fate and truth
The controller of life has choice of my use
I cannot perish in memories lost
I cannot divide the things I have sought
I cannot.. I cannot
But I must
For life to go on
And be eternal

I am so willful
I am so willfully lost
Grasping the fragments of eternities
Lives which were never lived, yet call to me
Revealing themselves in dreams and serenity
To destroy such tranquility
Is my burden to bare
And I bare it for want of growth

Free verse break this silent monotony
Make the cracking sound of my composure
Coalesce my visions... my hopes... my future
So I may rise to greet them.
And meet them...
Hold them with such honesty that they fall to my will.
Their ever prevalent indomitable nature
Will be my conquest not my guilt
