ordinarily paranormal
in multiple realms of existence
just a ghost they say
but i feel it in this dimension
fading in and out repeatedly
hello goodbye hello again
chilling my bones with this feeling
this haunt has just begun
My wife has eyes in the back of her head
So I got her into hats
it should be nice sunshine
but all I see is rain,
I'm
not going to play with
the weather again

and the point being that
whatever the point is
there's always a point,
even if no one points
the point out.
I'm not as smart as you are, but I'm not a knucklehead to believe it all of the time.
Honestly,

I broke apart last night.

I broke

Over broken promises,
Failed friendships,
Innocence undone.

I broke
Over this last lost year
With all its fear.

I broke
After losing you,
And learning
Where you now are.

I broke.
I simply broke
Apart.
The water waved,
the waves carried
a floated leaves to
the edge of the sea
...
If love were flight then I’d stay perched
Perhaps for fear of falling but
To see it all, I’d watch atop
Up twenty stories, far enough

Observed, and learned, but never felt
That freedom comes with many doubts
And I, for one, will not go out  
Much further than my steady perch
Back 'home' after years.

What will I come across there?


Can it still exist?
