Flat

 


I feel flat.

Need to recharge,

because I can't seem to

tame the noise,

the howling voice

running throughout my head.

Growling at every spark of imagination

until they flee in fright,

leaving me,

just an overflowing well,

alone and full of self-doubt.

I would sell out my soul for a smile,

a feint flicker of life

in this seemingly endless night.

 

I feel flat.

The only way to combat

is to rest, a peaceful nap.

I should be feather-down deep

in a duvet of glittery dreams,

instead, I'm being lead

down an unbeaten path

with beasts prowling behind.

With stone clad feet I walk

into a world of nightmares,

taunting me with

haunting songs of misery.

Draining me of all energy.

I'd give my worldly belongings

to ease this longing

slowly eating away at me.

 

My batteries are flat,

not recharging, no zap,

just sparking dread.

They could combust

a raging fire in my head,

if only there was some kindling,

somewhere for the spark to

start to glow,

but in there

only tumbleweeds blow.

I'd give every piece of my heart,

every scrap

of that torn, battered

symbol of my love,

if I could spend a day with you.

 

Because I want to see

the world through you,

sip a cup of tea of the finest leaf brew

as we watch the stunning sea view.

I want to know what makes you tick,

every love, hate, every ick.

I want it all to stick in my brain,

I won't flood with word rain,

I only want to sit and learn

the sunshine behind your name.

The stories behind

The picture frames,

which line your mind.

I want to taste the air through your lips.

Feel the moonlight

as it skips across your hips,

 

If you could blend

your smile with my frown,

I'd beg an angel for their halo,

for you to wear like crown.

A ring more glittering

than any diamond,

shining bright like the heart

you hold within.

Recharged, we could part

the seas, walk

beneath wave mountains

upon heavenly fields

of seabed dreams,

where no one could see us dancing.

Holding our smiles, soft like feathers,

feeling the romance in

the way our shallow breaths entwine.

Two loose threads

finally tied together

for all time.
