I Am Undone
Unexpectedly I keep falling to my knees
one cannot balance on Uncertainty
in times of Unbelievable grief
in an Unimaginable world.

missing you
in relentless waves

my cold lips
upon your white shoulder

no right no wrong
perfection imperfection
there is no ideal
one compliments the other

and map out the fissures of the moment,

in the advancement of falling out
so that I may fall within anew.

I was ascending
a prismatic path
weaved amid
celestial chords
each shift of colour
a chakra rising
I took note
there was no
beginning
nor no ending
simply a fusion
of all things.

incessant ocean
did little to break
the waves thrashing
the shoreline
with no restrictions we flew

your phantom kisses
laid me down in disarray

waltzing the shoreline
of sorrow
elegies written
in curls of eddies

stories strain for freedom
updating needed
