Close pain

When those close suffer
you become a buffer, when they shudder
you reach out, you create
that space they need, you are
that room
they need

you stay, don't sway
their road of pain, their hills of wounds
their dark woods, you go through,
you clear the hills, you light up the woods
that painfull road you see
you take that pain
you make that gain

Looking at the past

To stand at an ancient site, to see
the past, the former life, the remains
what once was where you are

seeing those remains
from times past

seeing that past, knowing it's gone
while holding it
in the hand

knowing it's forever lorn
in the past
intrigues

Powerless anger

The anger when powerless strikes
with power onto what it cannot strike
it cannot alter, it can only falter
yet it flames upon it, it rage upon it
it roars in defiance, the anger churns in it

The anger enjoys it
grows strong from it
It roars more now, it strikes harder
it strikes farther, yet it can only
falter

Happy

My girlfriend is next to me
The sun shines in,
shines on my cup of coffee
shines on me

my girlfriend touch my cheek
I look outside, at the sun, at the quiet ocean
bathing in the sun
I am bathing in the sun

The depressed

The depressed wanders, wanders
in alleys, in valleys, in woods
In the woods they roam, in the woods they stumble
They moan in the woods

the moans are not to be heard
In the woods the wind blow; it is
but a gentle breeze through the trees.
a breeze through the moaning, a breeze within
the moans, a breeze above the moans
as they stumble

Being social

Being social defines
it grabs minds, it feeds the mind
it defies the mind, the mind defies,
defies you

Your mind heeds to it, you feel it
you need it, you feed it

Relations are forged, hoarded,
they flow,
they integrate
they disintegrate

Oneself..

haunting through cities
through woods, through valleys
shudders through houses
shudders through minds

shafts through windows,
shafts through tunnels

funnels through ears
though one cannot hear
cannot hear
cannot bear
oneself
haunts
