Tumult and confusion
Wild weather howling through life
No eye to this storm
Past and future clamouring for dominance
Waves of memory gone
crash on shores of consciousness
Insistent battering
Storms of fear and future
rage across the mind
tearing up, flinging about
clouds of dust obscure all thought
But listen hard and hear
the underneath, growing louder
as behind and before fade away
The heartbeat
The pulse of now
Counting this moment, this moment, this moment
This moment is all there is

pressing hammers
onto already-vibrating heartstrings

pull me into place,
in line with all the other
collared shirts,
khaki pants,
and notebook paper hearts

scribbling thoughts away
while attempting to ignore
boredom's constant droning
over teenage heads

please, little butterflies,
won't you allow your
fragile wings
to lift
just one more burden
collected together in
a childlike form?

she appreciates
beauty

hollow sounds produced
by tapping fingertips
never satisfy

take me home,
back to where
the essence of
fantasy lives

capture ponderings and
drink them down
with your beverage
in the lunch line

listen to that one voice
that stops
all your vital organs from pulsating
and makes you wish
for a simple moment
in which your hands
might mesh

gradebook dreams
and chocolate nightmares
swallow you whole
and spit out another
hopeless overachiever

give my shoulder
a light squeeze

open your ears
to the sound produced
when fiction plummets down to
acrid reality

Last Night,
I reached for you;
    You weren?t there.
I cried in the night;
    With no one to hear.

    This Morning,
I thought of our time together,
    Looking for evidence,
I searched all my memories,
    For something between us.

    Today,
I thought of being alone;
    Considered my fears.
I tried to make plans;
    While choking back tears.

    Tonight,
I know that I still love you;
    Whether or not I should.
I want to tell you so much;
    If only I could.

    In The Morning
I start my new life?
