shhhh

there is naught but the furnace alight

 two am,
the whisper of hush blowing through vents

silence
the enevitable creep
the silence of nowhere
the place of an unending mind

be still

but the song lingers
chords un-ending
word prancing
books unread
stories
never told

the biscuits were toads
bulwalked
stanch adversaries
of what wouldn't be said

stones
in a bog
hard stepped
but sure


and we
we were friends
counting thistles

a whirlwind of dandelions unsown
seeds cast
voices unheard
and that which I was

was once-
 no more...

pray tell

tell me who
or what
I was



Woman.  Woman of large heart.  Woman of large hurt.

when the day breaks
and the sun rises
tell me what
is left
in tendrils
 
the avalanche of rays
the point beyond light
the place that ends
in silence
unseen

pray then
speak to me in platitudes
comma's
nuances
the da-da-da- dum
of rhythmic

teach me of poetry
of loss
of heart set to words
and how it should be

rhythm is found
but in the soul
a bit of word musical
if you should find
the means

but
heart-
heart, is entirely
different

it is the whisper of trees
cliche within the worst
the pounding of keys
the song that has repeat
 and therein

lies ..

what
is left
in tendrils

     This morning I woke to a myriad of thought and pushed them back as far as I could.  I rarely think "think" anymore I simply go on and on .. there was something about the preface of Mal in a word - malignant, malfunction, malady, "Mal" something...
     I sit staring, read over previous recent posts, find I repeat myself and ponder my negligence as I question the purpose.  "Purpose"  could perhaps be interpreted as "pre pose" with space just like that - meaning you pre decide your pose. (and I'd use quotations on pre and pose but really is just silly and shows lack thereof)
     Lack?  Lack of what? proper punctuation, the inability to write as if I were speaking and have it understood.  Well perhaps not understood, but slightly gleamed in the dimmest of dim.
     I am here, there, and all over in my query ... tendrils ... I think for once on that, the way that I perceive a sunrise or a sunset, how I might not look at the center in all its glory but instead search desperately for the outside edge, the inside track to whatever might remain within and without.
     It is as if I am playing a game of Clue within myself without the means to do so.. my mind wanders ...I don't even know where to find a dictionary within my home anymore and I stop as the realization hits full.  I own several, one of which was often one of my mothers most prized possesion....
     I'm just a ghost in this house but the words linger ... it is a haunt beyond beyond my control edging forward...

"I'm just a ghost in this house but the words linger" - I like the degrees of ghostliness, Nora. Tom

so tempted
this make believe world
who is and isn't

do I love him yes
is it meant, no
certainly not

 a conduit of yes and no
an ocean between
worlds separate
but whole
 
my very bestest
of
friends

truly, my friend
forever and always
till
death

petals crushed beyond means
a cabernet of thought
a vintage unknown
 slightly sweet

but undercarriage
hinting of

 bitter

taste is often found within the carriage of tongue
but what of soul?
 so cliche...

"the soul"
