All I Can See
For all I can see
The epitome of me
To release control and cast to the wind
The pressure to understand
Unrest swirls
Twirls and whirls disrupting
A night that could lay still
Aching like a rib-caged dog
Hunger grows and knows no abate
Persistent in its cause to claw
The final grain of hope
Breathe outwards and float inwards
Close my eyes and sigh
Fly in realms not weighed down
By sucking sight and stinging sound
That is hope.
A picture-future
Possible to reach
A tear, unseen, exists nonetheless
Rolls from my gut and rolls
And falls
And when it passes through depths my conscious cannot fathom
It appears once more,
Rolling from my gut, and rolls
And falls
I have tried and fallen through
Took the risk the jump the fall and all
That was promised… was dashed
