Wandering

Organizing 
If only I could grasp 
Enough of what I need 
I'll no longer have 
An empty 
Hole 
Where something should have been 
I'm whole 
But 
I lay awake 
Thinking of 
How I somehow 
Walked the path
To a door 
And it's closed

Prophecy

I lay awake in contemplation 
Of roads traveled
Portents seen 
An ending 
and a vision 
Passion that still haunts my dreams 
So much longing 
So aware 
Your kiss, your touch 
Intoxicating 
I really wish I didn't care
It is over, never ended 
Never to be seen again 
Heartbreak that my soul attended
Left unspoken 
On the air

Brains!

My brain wasn't very nice to me today 
It reminded me of things I've said 
In previous conversations
It reminded me that I've gained inches 
And pounds
It rebelled against 
Concentration 
Overextended my schedule 
By agreeing to do things
It has no intention of following up on
My brain is capricious 
It hides behind a fug of morning inertia 
Low down devil 
I'm going back to sleep!
