Have you any idea what you do to me? Have you any idea what you’ve done to my mind? I’m stranded in a world of empty promises, touch-less embraces, and moments that never happen replaying like a broken record in my dreams. Knowing your there, somewhere, sitting in your office chair waiting to rendezvous with me in a world of nonexistence. a world of no resistance. Where there’s nothing standing between us, curbing our words, holding back feelings, or thoughts of feeling absurd.
Have you any idea what you’ve done to me? Have you any idea what you are becoming? My God…you have proven light in caves that seem to encase only darkness. You have become the voice deep within the mountain beckoning to me. I hither to your calling nightly, though be it slow, unaware of the reasons for which I do so.
I have surrendered to your wishes and given pleasures to your mind. You have stroked my barriers, befriended my boundaries, now taking your place as the hand feeding my emotions. You are controlling my intentions and persuading my receptions to heed your every command. Provoking my energies at will. My mind is bound to yours by an invisible strand. Your words are as addictive as a pill.
You have become a phantom. A looming burst of air hovering over my body in the night. Your formless hands caress my consciousness causing my very being to quiver with desire. Forcing the urge I slowly become yours, turning my head and inviting your bite.
Have you any idea what you’ve become?
Have you any idea what you are?
“You are mine”
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust…”
echoes in my mind
tucked away in a blanket of grass
leaving me behind
now
six feet under he lay
I watch the blood red sky above
no sunshine today
his dreamy eyes
his loving smile
puncture the heart like that of a cactus prick
traveling the highway of memories alone, yet another mile.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Are dreams that never end
Fantasies we reach for just around the bend
Unattainable tales in our minds we’ll ne’er grasp within our hands
Yet we watch the reel turn about in our heads
Dream on…night after night in bed
In our own self-loathing we wallow
Life will be better tomorrow
Tell ourselves that like a broken record
Black and white checkered
Repetitious pattern
Wake up…or don’t, what’s it matter?
Why do you read me?
Do I seem insane?
Do you really like my words,
or just interested in my pain?
Do I remind you of you?
Or someone you know ...
Is my life amusing
Now that it’s on show?
I’ll tell all
just to make it go away
As if I have something important to say.
And here you are
Reading my words,
Feeling some sort of sympathy
Or along those chords
Maybe you wonder
what is wrong with this author,
She reeks of depression
how can one be so somber?
Perhaps she is good
with words that are distraught
Yet, you’re still reading!
Then again maybe not.
Like a river polluted with murky refuse, my words impatiently flow to the untainted ocean unknown.
With open arms she welcomes the expected unexpected.
Like acid my tears fall, burning holes deeper to encase the emotion of which they hold. Trembling like a quivering leaf in the wind I repress the visions and pain still beating down the walls within me.
Caged inside the cell within my mind, I panic while looking for ways to forget the unspoken.
Rage rumbles through my soul devouring all that is I.
Still, the ocean roars with its thunderous waves inviting my infestations to be freed. Allowing her cycle to filtrate my unconscious we, together, wait till our next encounter.
Confused yet, cognizant I watch as movies play in my mind, only to be interrupted as day breaks.
Fear and terror engulf my inner self, allowing consternation to take over my intellect.
Slowly, the rushing current flows at a softer pace permitting a safer passage to the other side; that of a new chapter in my life which tells a new story.
