Capturing The Sound Of Life
Just trying to feel something, anything, while
I listen to you warble your anthem, this song
that has haunted me for what feels
life long, lingering.

I peered in many windows, prying, searching anything
sounding familiar like your voice, inflecting feelings
haunting me, and scares with emptiness I miss,
yearn to feel.

Disconnected by a life I'm in, but cannot reach, there's you,
visionary, echoing and inflecting words barely recalled.
Inserted into a world I've never learned navigate,
there is one beacon.

No light, nothing to touch like a stone, a hunger for ears
I cannot sate warbles about airwaves my wonder
seeks with fuzzy head, scanning blinding skies
lost on the ground.

I cannot even clutch this pain inside myself, when you
open your mouth. If I could finally ask, should you
be found, would you answer a foolish boy,
my disembodied captor?



5.11.22

there's no true comfort in words, only actions of a woman who tempts me to hope, believe, aim
to try to figure out what this disconnectedness is all about.

your voice has wings for you
and if I could clutch you
before you fly
would I know
be happy that I possess you
the way you own me
knowing
love like this can reciprocate
