Words don't come to me as easily as they once did
I've said it before
Said it before
said it before
Cynical echo sound away
So I erase, backspace, highlight and delete every syllable of love, fear, anxiety, I've lived through in this life
Smother my worth with worthlessness but I hope someone else feels they are worth it
That's my drive
Keeping a stranger alive another day, perhaps
Writing on a beach just to let my words wash away in the sand
Let myself soul drift out beyond the waves, but my body forgot to become drowned in the deep
where silence is the deadliest sound
and I've grown deaf
breathing but not alive
//reflection and nihilism//

I've concluded I'm a complex man
A honeycomb in a row of cubicles
Not meant for... this
Inconsistency and ambivalence.
Constant push and pull.
You're here. Now you're not.
"I love you". We haven't spoken in months.
Indifference and apathy.
Mixed messages.
I'm who you want when you don't want to be alone.
Company. Just company.

Interest. Disappearance. Repeat.

soul sails on blue skies
the way open

union delightful,
strengthening

a dance of stars
waltzing lovers.

music of wind
and silence.
I quit insta to
join this. Sadly I can't fix

forever being fed
if you allow

the gentle spoonful's
forever fresh

a mothering universe
from out its heart

poets crafting in union
words of the ethereal.

glimpses tempt children
questions are cosmic

we like to be 'adult'
within an ancient Mother

and she knows 'everything'
whereas we know nothing.
