Month: February 2020

In a constant rush
of harsh light and explosive sound
the world exists around me, 
demanding more than I have to give;

I seek escape
in the sanctuary of solitude,
though more often
I am choked by the loneliness -

driving me back into the chaos
desperate for something to hold on to,
to let me know
what I am is enough.

pink fire burns the horizon,
push the pace -
                             more speed
home is waiting

what's essential lies beneath -

you saw behind the mask -
               the only one

then in a moment,
                 you went blind -

                                            now I am adrift
                    without your anchor -

why can't you see me?

I'm drowning
here before you.
