Ellipsis

Left without notice
What was this?
A break in disjointed youth
Relationship had become an ellipsis
Two roads diverged in a wood and I
I took the one I've traveled by
The fork in the road
What's yet to unfold
Little did I know
What I missed out on
Living vicariously in a way
Living vicariously through each other
Parts, only in parts
Inept and unable to connect
With feelings impossible to be shown
Time is not what we own
Yes, two roads diverged in the snow and I
Have weathered this storm I've traveled by
A storm awaits you of a different kind
So naive and sparkling
A golden ring and suspected bliss
A trail of false happiness
And a relational ellipsis
Eclipse it
Times change, time passes by
And I took the road alone as I
Walked the sand and questioned the sky
Why?
The ellipsis will not be eclipsed by time
The roads will not meet but will wind and bend
Never to meet up again

Asylum

A breaking in the midst
A wanting and waiting
Wading in the waters of well known phobias
An ever present aching
An ache for something more
And all the while screams from six feet below the floor
What used to be renewed
Has now become unglued
Admitted, take me in
Take me under
Commited, make me win
Make me wonder
What is that which sent me here all alone
What left me here in the deep unknown
All is blank, white noise and white walls
Where ink blots turn as Rohrschach falls
What am I seeing now?
New medicines can heal somehow
Secrets...
Antidepressants to alter your mood
They can give me a whole new attitude
Was power not enough to quench the thirst for something more
Iron fists and iron doors
Solitary confinement of a voluntary kind
I sent myself here
Cradled in fear
Which me is really me?
So much left to discover what's right
Just leave me alone tonight
And don't question the motive of my rage
Unless you truly want to engage
In war
Unless you want battle scars of a verbal sparring kind
You can't push rewind
And who's to say you would choose any better anyhow
But for now
I remain unbridled and unmoved
Confident of only this...
My restlessnsess
