In just one split of an instant
Life force entirely withdrew
With your vitality vanished
I find myself severed in two
As heavens expand between us
I fear I’ll recall less each day…
So, I think back through the senses

Eyelids peel away
Pupils enlarge
Neural synapses open
Air slips in my veins
Blood stream widens
Each cell breathes new energy
My heart beats faster
More expansive
Yet focused on what matters
Well-developed thoughts

Rough manly lines and a stark striking blue
Jump out against the season’s moody sky
Tracing your depths, my flesh colored anew
I’m jolted from sleep inside my mind’s eye
Coaxed out winter’s cloud, you enhance my hues
With vibrant layers... – by Falling Awake | 11 Views added 3 months ago

They’re all keeping scores
Past these red, rusty doors
Shadows casted from the neon light
Fall on rubber ducks sitting so tight
In the quarter-turn vending machine
Their faded beady eyes have seen

If I could transcribe behind your eyes,
I’d see the times they’ve sunk and cried,
The shadows of pain you’ve held inside,
And all the needs you’ve been denied.
You don't speak much on heartache,
Or insecurities you can’t shake,

Four years elapsed,
Since the world collapsed,
And I still can’t delete it,
Delete it from my head.
The concrete impaction,
One solitary action,
From able to chained,
Chained to his deathbed.
And I’m disturbed by the memories,

Muffled echoes of your voice,
Fall shy of my ear’s drum,
While your cold flesh,
Remains just out of reach,
I’m dehydrated and thirsting…
Thirsting for the experience of you,
But it remains forever locked-inside
My ward I keep of our... – by Falling Awake | 12 Views added 4 months ago

There was once a captive giraffe,
Who escaped from the city zoo,
But with this newly found freedom,
He wasn’t quite sure what to do.
Bustle overwhelms his senses,
‘Till he finally finds some lawn,

A response to stress,
I’m a nervous mess,
And, I just don’t know
what to do with my hands.
I’m awkward in charm,
Drink connects with palm,
But what do I do with my hands?
I pretend to inspect,
My nails I dissect,
Tell me, what do I do... – by Falling Awake | 1 View added 6 months ago

This change in gravitation,
From my centerpiece dying,
Has me spinning in rotation,
But I’m still hanging on trying.
My memory is slipping away,
Just like my fading hold on you
Your new bloom brings my decay,

I’m falling awake,
while rising in love,
swimming in your wake,
suspended above.
Residing on clouds,

A white fine toothed comb
Runs through my being
Neuron knots de-conditioning
Liberating, freeing
My cells zing to life
Thought chains unbroken
So interesting, so possible
My being’s woken
With each sinus sip

Confined by behavioral rhythms
and all-consuming thought loops…
I recognize patterns as my foundation.
Through sacrifice of inner freedom
and connection with the consciousness collective,

Through pen and paper,
I process my internal world.
Word by word, line by line,
the chaos becomes cohesive.
Sequentially and conceptually,
thoughts and emotions are wrangled.
Keen on self-expression’s freedom,

Wasting my time,
on the borderline, empty,
I reach for the next second.
But each one I grasp,
traps me again,
time melts into my skin.
My cells are crawling away,
my stomach turns on itself.
my blood is pushing at my veins.
