I need a break.
  A respite from my feelings.

I know that must sound strange
assuming that most like to feel;
it is how they know that they are alive.

  Me,
my feelings taunt me
and remind me that I'm not dead.

  Flashback after flashback invade
my frazzled mind and body
until my pounding heart is breaking
in the wake of no relief.

I need a break.

the clouds tonight are marching
faces of warriors and animals
a whole tribe
they look determined, course set;
the art of them beats all:-
puny man and his efforts
will be of no avail

I do want to woo you
do you want to woo me too
I am not the expert
but I am willing to learn
and if it all goes south
well, three compass points are left

it has been so from the start;
in one end
out the other

Evening Ways
For all was tame and quiet,
Pin drop symphonies rang the bells of my attention
As sound seemed very absence
But in the presence of movement over known
Emitting silent ******
My seances only were aroused
When all the limbs came round the bend
To tumble over interruption
While passive in their flail
A lonely lady frail soon moved from in the dark
Lent to the tilt of my eyes a gentlemen
Then floating out of balance
So near to me in absence of the sun

Lips divided slowly
Seeping breath of the flowing pale
Such absence clustered, subtle glowing
Painted figures from shadows as she stretched the crooked hand
To ***** my collar with uneasiness
While nameless forces bloomed
To guid her fingers to my breast plate
Envy shook within her eyes
That tasted visions of a heart beat
Never pulsing in her ribs
That soon unhinged and spread around me
But in i dove before the grasp
So she would not consume my soul

My body landed in a room
That was the same as such before
I left its confines while floating
Never greeting who soon came
Around the corner, solid form
A figure with my name and face
His heart was absent

Waiting, always waiting
To extend a hand to lonely wonderers.

Tea
Tea served up to the masses;
cannot function without it.
Tea, the reviver of mankind.
