A Starlit Study in Braille

Another telescope goes blind
Searching
what I’ll never be, I am
Demise
That which was never my own
No claims to be
No fame
But Borrowed energy from the universe
That missed me somehow
Lost among the trees and the stars
I watch them as they give
Beauty, warmth, and light
Imperceptible facades
Inspiration
Promises of hope
Proves false.
Fabled destinations
I have none
No gifts to give
No songs
No new wizardry of words, they have all been said
Before and time again
Drumming only the vacancy of heart
Too frozen
In the black hole chaos cauldron magick, mystic, moon-bred fall
Of Purgatory
Empty vessel, hollow shell
Exoskeleton with pieces still attached
Doomed not to wander
But remain…
Never to feel the ocean’s breath
To gaze into a heat mirage
Rising
These ashes give no birth
No Phoenix, no messiah
The infinity above
Atmosphere does not exist in here
What is not created
Can it be destroyed ?
Worlds have passed me by, many
For they know
Emptiness
When they see it.

beauty abounds and i try to hide

Genius surrounds me i can’t escape it
Beauty abounds and i try to hide
Home
Is neither distant star nor xmas flight nor daily penance of all the wrong decisions
It is a cauldron
Poison and pictures
Time spinning faster with each all night drive
Eyes on the road but not this one i am seeing another
And another
All those winding roads i had avoiding all those second chances i never took
Age becomes another weight synonymous with time running out
These sunsets that have plagued you
Now guide you
Away from what you know
Always searching
Forever searching blindly for keys for clues for memories you try to piece back together try to conjure all you’ve lost but it is too much and the pieces they are always wrong always missing some crucial thought
That you cannot quite place
Panic rising higher and higher in your chest like beautiful tides of by gone minutes you tried to last forever
The shutter fails
Record skips
Brakes fail sending all intentions cascading into fate
Where the words no longer hurt and the dreams no longer threaten
To be real
