Abstruse

Always wanting the remarkable
Believing, too, in the impossible
Striving for perfection every day
Truly chaotic in every way
Undeterred by another's ambition
Seemingly propelled by self volition
Ever a mystery to me you will be

Drought

"Violence is like a weed, it does not die even in the greatest drought." ~ Simon Wiesenthal

drowning in profound rain we were sated,
rarely wanting, never dreaming, of a drought,
one shouldn’t let others carry their keeping,
use them for their insatiable, selfish needs
guilt hung in those raindrops; the sated tension
honored feelings, now just fallen memories 

that scream of droughts promised by eternity

Choking

"Losing streaks are funny. If you lose at the beginning, you got off to a bad start...in the middle of the season, you're in a slump...at the end, you're choking." ~ Gene Mauch

Dear You,

The last time I wrote, I was in a manic stupor of surging chemistry and then today I can barely hold my eyes open. My brain, rather than being smothered by euphoria, is choking on memories of you. I really wished you could have loved me. You were rather nice to have around.

Love,

Me

Chemical reactions are all that we are.

Hold me tighter.

Open the sweet tides of you.

Kind of a dream.

Is that your name, Sandman?

Nice memories to numb me.

Go 'round my head.

Forgotten, Dreams

"All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams." ~ Elias Canetti

I dream of the weirdest things, and they are usually about forgotten things, forgotten chores. If I've been meaning to get my car washed, my dream self finally does it for me. She must be OCD.

During the night
Rest alludes me
Errands forgotten
Arrest my never-land
Mercilessly.
