Undelivered

 


Life always promised,

but never delivered.

So now I take

a pinch of salt

and throw it

into the air.

See where it lands,

and start to head there.

Following the sands

like breadcrumbs

laid by a kindly hand.

 

Love never seems easy,

too much hope breeds insanity.

I flee the madness

that grows internally.

I walk tirelessly

wishing for my path

to one day find me,

but so far, I'm walking along

this dirt siding alone,

watching nature idly passing by

as I try to atone

for something I've haven’t done.

 

My silent tongue sits,

tormenting my lips.

"Just let your words out",

my brain insists.

But they are not in sync,

my words only come

when I'm letting my pen sink

into softened pages.

My words sit

amongst the ink blot puddles,

and I'm too puzzled

by the universal riddles

that spin through my head

as I try to sleep.

 

In the deepening silence

when inspiration is tired,

the pen doesn't move,

only again starting to flow

when my mind slows

and the music sings

over its own unique groove.

The words sit glowing,

seeking approval,

but I'm just a conduit,

to the consciousness

that floats throughout

the cosmic waterways,

just a vessel, for the words

to use as a base.

 

I want to feel summer

float through me

and feel that heat glow

eternally.

Those feelings

I've missed so much,

the rush

of holding onto love.

The flush of hearts

soaring

too close to the sun.

When all the flowers open,

and the colours run,

blending into everyone.
