I am
I am tangled in indecision
I am tangled in references to the past
I am tangled forever in meaningless tasks
I am tangled in my demons
I am tangled in love and lust
I am tangled in friendships
Some turmoil
I am tangled in thought, in
Consciousness
I am tangled for tangles sake
Above all, I am simply tangled
I am.

DREAM OF THE DISENGAGED
Unsettling images bombard my sleep
In waves, they wash over the artists eye
Reality in the deepest depths, I reap
And not waking,
Not waking, I sit and cry
For the past that keeps repeating
For the future clouded in fear
For my youth that I am keeping
As if in a jar for some later year
And the years they do roll by
As these years and dreams ne’er collide
In present tense, into a dream within a dream
And not waking, I sit and cry
For the past that always looms
For the future seen with hope
For my age forewarned of doom
As I carry on and helplessly grope
At waking

GETTING UP
Getting up is a feat that I have yet to master
In a timely manner as I struggle on one knee
Hands prostrated and eyes straining for distance
And my back screaming with the pain of past
Endeavors that put me down and required a
Lengthy effort with soul wrenching introspection
At this very moment I am crouched and tired
But oddly optimistic with my eyes clear and
Skyward and my hands on my knees back tensed
Elbows bowed for that attempt at standing with
Great hopes of standing for a while this time
If only for a while to be closer to the sun
SFK
Great beauty hangs before me
Standing at the edge where soul meets sea
And gazing forward optimistic yet blind
To these visions of hope I bow my head, take a knee
As my new found soul meets heart and finds
Great beauty hangs before me
Floating as if in a trance sublime
Forgiveness of self and world entwined
To my love I render past lives to die
Forever longing the future I find
Great beauty hangs before me
She stands laughing now at the sunrise bliss
With dancing shadows of presents mist
In fall leaves do turn a dying gaze
To spring, new life and thoughts of days
As great beauty hangs before me
