Mystifying Edge

...Faced up, thinking about every image that happily flowed...

These conniving skies were the eyes of my dreary night.
Somewhat cloaked to void my soul on this magical delight.

Indefinite thoughts juggled their way every which a way.
What force drove this decision to make me think 'halfway?'

Just like most, most will not say a word about their doin
Like who or what gives a damn or how they're improving

The heart races everyday wondering who will except...
Who will slow down the antsy need of 'the needy duet'

...I face forward, thinking about the life I have ahead of me...

So, now that I was at the edge and close enough to see
The mist had disappeared so that I could face my reality

The edge taunts me as winds blow melodies in my ear
Mist lingers with rising gusts as my head begins to clear

Gradually, do I begin to appendage where I really am
But what can I do, when everywhere... is only a scam

...Then I faced down, nodding...thinking to give it another try...

I faced space, envisioning those I'd rather see by my side
Not even my End could flicker their appearance as I sigh

So, now that I was at the edge with enough edge to see
Where were my friends when I needed them next to me

...Facing everywhere, eyes closed, "oh well what the hell..."

...My body remained, indulged in everyone's emptiness...
...My mind exampled, derailing off this cliff of sorrowfulness...

Back and Forth

"...And I have yet to be embraced by your aura
knowing I am the smeared soul of your society
But I only think like that because of how you look at me
Like a speck on your poplin only to brush it off in disgust
How can I feel you when I know you are never going to be there?
Why do I admire empty space when your matter isn't going to fill it?
Wherever I roam free, I seem to sense you around the way
Always looking to turn around only to see a fading silhouette..."

Life In The Rapids

We had waved at each other with every riveting storm.
Our souls parade was heard everywhere we'd roam

We went through all amorous streams of happiness,
clashed with rivers of anger and currents of sadness.

Sometimes the water would heat up;
Sometimes the water would get cold

Along the way, the body of water became impure.
As if there was no hope for cleansing or to endure,
We had lost our waves and our atmospheric colour.

Hoping that an unfaltering current would link us together,
Nature assisted the detachment only to flow us farther
Our last and final hug became this luke warm water...

Further down we witnessed our biggest challenge, a waterfall.
We lost each other through the mist becoming worse by nightfall

Now...I travel endlessly over the world in sad clouds of grey,
hoping that someday we meet again in a storm...and wave.
