Is worthwhile, Is value.

Here in voids of water,

I usually am in solitude.

And here, about time and life,

I suffer little.

In half magmatic seclusion,

Little warmth of my brow.

All heat is raised upon my naked body.

And this, digression in youth,

Lost once more.

I, the listener of Happiness,

Need no more time than I am approved,

Yet I squander the little I am granted.

And what life of mine,

Was ever so lowly?

None shall overstep the line,

Drawn in the sands of time,

By the leaders, in our minds.

For now, cracks brighten the doorway,

And I know this time is short.

The ambivalence of rest,

Is distorted by my want again.

You, you see,

You are the springtime to my winter.

And in lust I hold near to this value.

In isolation I hold near to your value.

In moments we find secrets,

And this surreptitious cost,

Is worthwhile,

Is value.

Stuck in slow time.

Something I wrote a few months ago which never made it online. As it's christmas I thought I'd make an effort. I like this poem, and happily I have moved on from these emotions for now.


Stuck in slow time,

All the lost beliefs are mine,

All the narrow and the slim,

All stuck within.

All puzzled circular and about,

Clinging to fruitful doubt,

All the trapped disarray.

My thoughts of the day,

Everything gnawed to bone,

Everything around this throne,

All the junk of this mood,

All viewed.

And you,

Accrue,

See my flaws,

See my bleeding jaws.

See me slowed,

See me implode,

See me lose hope,

See me try and cope.

To no avail,

I fail.

See me withdraw,

Partial thaw,

Shrink-wrapped fresh,

In plastic mesh.

A mess,

Over which I obsess,

This flesh is brittle,

I can give you little.

Stuck in slow time,

Thinking about the sublime,

Paused on one matter,

You are the latter.

On the night you left.

I am enveloped in small writing,

All the needless ability,

Left me fighting.

Against agility.

Left fleeting.

And lost in an incapacitated motion,

My heart stopped beating,

As it sunk in the ocean.
