Elucidating Questions

Count to ten

Count again

Find the rhythm

Find the beat

Search in darkness

Search in vain

Count to ten

Then count again

Part cat part rabbit

Can’t be tamed

One will be stubbornly free regardless

One will only appear tamed when the word is trust

Hush

The runner runs in spilling water everywhere in the most inappropriate way

I knew I loved you before I met you

But tell me what has it ever meant?

I know my love is timeless

Unaffected by the days

Yet I know it means nothing in as many ways

As the backwards days that continue

How else to prove your life is better than to live it?

Walking 500 miles never proved my love

The time showed it

Eighteen hundred reasons

I can’t be won’t be and never have been

It’s the little things that pull it apart

His fair lady

And damn that it shouldn’t hurt

Curse foul heart and mind that continue this charade

While he languishes in splendor and the love that he’s found

I close the door firmly behind and stare into the empty space

Not me

Not you

Nor me

Nor you

And the mind and the heart do as they will without the thought of how they torture me

His fair lady

How fair she must be

Ever the one to watch and never the one to play

Playing the part in a strange game with no winners

Only the watcher

And how it hurts

His fair lady

That I couldn’t provide him with it myself

That he didn’t want me to

That he never sees the pain pouring out

His fair lady

May they seek ever after

While I rot in the dark

Jupiter rises in time

As to be expected

But what justice is this?

The question we could never answer

The light in the sky sits silent, observing, stoic

To the question with no answer there is only a great man sitting upon a great throne staring

Watching

What justice is this?

That humanity yet still lags behind in the very thing they claim integral

He rises just in time

The question hangs over his head

But he is disinterested in the answer

I look to you

Look to you and think,

With what eyes do I see?

Unworthy of such silent attention

Intrigued by the sudden entrance

Where do the drops fall when other set glances over the ink that soaks each page?

Alas, the ink cannot sink into the web, but it sinks all the same.

Without shame

Without fame

Simply a place to put the thoughts who scream as they enter and scream as they leave

An empty body still naked with the words poured out into the stream

But empty

But how can it feel the love of the lonely?

But it does a small good

There cannot be a breach of the dam

It holds the secrets yet secreted

Alarm in the silent kingdom.

Needing to be needed I lay useless

Collecting dust in this place

Wishing silently that there was more

Something not lost and displaced

Even when the lines are blurred still lonely

Willing the seconds to find I’m spaced

Avoidance is the anthem of the lonely
