Reaching & Undone

 

I’ve framed a mistake, tired of reaching, doing it, nonetheless;

in absence, to see presence, symbolic purple—

edging towards reaching, bathed in inadequacy, tired of absence.

You seem cured, albeit, heavy, to see you unlock—

chambers and voltage, acting naturally, like old country folks;

tallness, as it drifts, courage, as it flourishes, born ebbing between beauties.

Many solemn seconds, pure grayness, to find a man guilty, for he tried reaching …

never his soul, looking back at determination, frowning, filled with loathing.

I’ve framed an apology, reaching more rain, sullen sickness, sickle swords, arranged to see one too much oaken pain;

daylight blues, wonder ever after itself, to become specimen, research, neither human nor alien, a casual feeling, a dismissal in time, to have noticed a rising distress.

Looking, of course, traipsing passed, wiles and waning, approach and retreat;

nothing works, it’s all for naught, as one believes in reaching.

To be noticed, to fulfill purpose, used, abused, just for rites, denied humanity, just for range … trying to commandeer Love, like a fool:

they have history, pain, manipulation, art, passion, etc.

I’ve framed armor, becoming vulnerable, feeling, in spite of self—

time in thought, to make it forever a gem, tongues remain tied ….

I would catch an old emotion, balancing on a tightrope, forbidding itself as it would rise—estrangement, alienation, attached to reframing, reaching, nonetheless.

In a space, addicted to expression, waning on the esoteric, comfortable to be a Believer;

neither asking for it, nor needing it, as for further the days.

Each ingredient permeates the stew—becoming significant, blending into a paste, if to believe what wasn’t said.
