separation

FOR ALL INTENTS

Taking into account
the rough seas
and heavy winds

Taking to heart
the obscene and greedy
thoughtless sins

Putting aside
the time outs
and time aways

Wading through
the perfect storm
to fiercer waves

Pulling apart
the silent screams
and heated venting

Dragging behind
the broken dreams
and coming ending

Weathering days
and sleepless nights
to see the morning

Our ship has sailed
and come what may
of a new day dawning

TWO PEAS

We had our differences,
and that was the only thing
we could both agree on.

It was almost poetic
the way we left it
without ever really arriving.

WHAT REMAINS

What remains of our more recent differences, those
saturated words fallen from the lacy cuffs of our noble tongues, the
sound-filled garments and raspy lingerie custom fit
for implication and blame – what remains

but the pungency of battered verdicts, the jesters
of white noise and spicy hung detachment, the
midnight winds of halitosis fouling casted spells:
an alphabetic bouquet of gambled persecution,
the weight of which we transport as we fade away

EVENTUALLY

every second we touch
leads us closer
to separation:

i would rather watch
for there is no end
in sight
to this vision

THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION

“When one spends copious amounts of energy expelling another from the once near position of attachment in some form, one simply wastes such momentous opportunity to benefit from that link between the two individuals of whom the separation is now being deliberately forced; for the partnership of the two, through the joining of their combined past, is key to the reason for one’s present growth and potential path in one’s own re-mapped future – and no amount of erasure can blind one from the inclusion in another’s history.”
