Your surface is spilling over
My unweeded edges,
Caressing the curves
Of my flustered mind
Pulling me into,
Murky dark places
I cannot see
for all the glittery
Sunshine.
And I stagger and fall.
I fight your darkness
As all the glitter slips away.
But it is then I realize
That you are just a river
And I am the one
Looking into you.
Those little lanes
Keep haunting me
With their icy surfaces
Or sided with weeds.
I do not miss them, but
I am plucked out of them
Like an unwanted,
And for that I keep thinking
Myself back there
Walking
by yesterday’s
Long forgotten
Dreams.
Sometimes, I lose myself
In you,
I forget the intricacies
Of my own soul, and I
Become a solitary
Pilgrim searching
Your veins
For my purpose.
It was never us from the beginning
Only a sun setting and
Another one rising.
You hovered like a storm
About my person
But I could never manage
To pluck you down,
When you turned too black
You simply rained upon
My shadows.
I left my other half
Behind in a
Dream and
Marched on like
A de-horned rhino.
But somewhere
Along the way I
Forgot which part
I left behind,
The new shiny one?
Or the broken one?
There is a galaxy spinning
in the darkness
Behind my mind
Unrelated to any thought within
Just a million transmitters
Crashing like stars on fire
Into my subconscious dream vision
Igniting my soul’s desire
To find home.
