I have never known

where to draw the line

my fantasies, bleed out

from the end of a pencil

onto blank pages

where thoughts spill

without ink, splotches

of words, erased, replaced

then smeared again

by the brush of my hand

or is it my vision, blurring

the existing lines, a verse

left unattended because

I have fallen asleep

into yet another dream

Spirits transcend the waters

Gliding through shadows

Unafraid of the muck

Layered below, for they know

Beneath, the mire contains

Another lost soul, searching

For a chance to find his way

Into the greater unknown

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them

I hear the howling

A sound, growing

Piercing, window panes

The glass, shivering

And night closing in

I’m selfish
I try to let go
And find myself
Still hanging on
It’s not easy
You know
It becomes a part
Of oneself
Until it breaks
And breaks, again
The pieces falling
Haphazardly
Endlessly
And when I try
Hopelessly
To hang on to
What I never let go of
I find it’s really me
Falling apart
