loss

i'm teetering on the edge

of loss

the claw marks

from my desperation

are growing

as it all slips further away

the pressure in my head

from my tears

is growing

as i continue to sob uncontrollably

the exhaustion

from it all

is growing, and creeping up on me

as i run from it as fast as my legs will carry me

soon i will fall

off the edge

and lose it all

-i

love hungry mongrel

love hungry mongrel

you crave a morsel of affection

a crumb of comfort

a slither of soft warm touch

you yearn to be held

rubbing your ears raw

on concrete corners

cast out in the cold

your bones chatter

and your teeth shake

you envy those around you

the ones who are cradled

they have it all

you wish you had what they have

-i

untitled

my soul is wearing thin in places

like a pair of well worn socks

-i

light

candlelight casts soft shadows

moonlight caresses everything it touches

sunlight warms the souls it reaches

torchlight is harsh like the truth

lamplight is homely and reassuring

room light is blunt and unflattering but honest

your light is comfortable and constant, forever safe

You good ?

that, my friend, is a complicated question

life has been hectic recently, literally starting a big move today so i haven't been posting much as of late but i have some things to share once i get settled.

as for the poetry itself, most of it is based on difficult aspects of my life and how i'm feeling.

sad poetry is easier to write than happy so the majority tends to fall in the same depressing category. but i'll be ok eventually, it'll all be ok.

so long answer short, not really but i'm getting there

(thank you for asking)
