Infect

Nothing could protect my mind
perceiving lies as truth

These truths nestled in approval
the heart of my youth

There they rooted and in time
bore fruit that made the muse

And calloused eyes cast aside
hope with quiet reproof

Reruns

And you run
the sequence
again and again
Forming the words
but tasting the ash
Mewling alone
at another lost chance
Laying awake
considering the past
Deceiving yourself
it was for the best
Immovable, caught
in a loop of regret

Untitled

The expansive sky
yawns infinity
canvas for the unknown
the neon cross
provides no answers
against the blue
the eye anchors
reflected in the mind

The forest valley
hides the way
the unknown shelter
the walled tent
removes the pleasure
sharing the earth
another structure
avoiding escape

The city proper
confuses the mind
all is measured
the party rages
fly spirit, soaring
dancing to time
generous to instinct
but roughly confined
