behind time

  


with so many threads
postures and sentiment
being woven into a fabric
we too become interwoven
like neural pathways
just beginning to process
how comparable we are
though dolefully
behind time

what waits



closter phobic
a prison of sorts
and conceivably deeper
than the depth underneath
the bowels of this ship

cast off thy moorings
lay course in your heart
let your mind set sail
to far-flung familiar lands
who knows… what waits

deceive ourselves



it is an incessant effort
especially when scores
toil so hard
 at thinning
   the facility of those trying
      with
        smoke and mirrors
          straight-faced diversions!
not desiring us to discern
   ourselves clearly…
nor do they desire us
   peering through them!

we must stay genuine
    but how? 
when even we
   deceive ourselves

only you and i



in spite of the reason
   for the call
       your problematic struggle
              with your evil twin

it was rather natural
       talking with you
and for a moment in time
        we enjoy
               once more
       the bond we share

not aware of history
       nor expectations
not dissecting
       every word
              each intonation

 i can tell you
       with genuineness
in those inestimable moments
     there was only
              you and i

breathe consciously

 

breathe consciously
sleep peacefully
eat moderately
talk reservedly
think sensibly
write habitually
dream wholeheartedly    
hope insistently
cry intermittently
grow progressively
live uncomplainingly
care genuinely   
love unconditionally

and
when all else fails
breathe consciously

a new direction



folded and golden
baked and sweet
crisp and crackling
a wise man's treat
with my lucky numbers
laid out so neat

how could possibly have known?

"right now there's an energy
pushing you in a new direction"?
