escaping now
drifting away from here
arriving somewhere else
in the same instant


crossing the line



walking into a stage play
someone else has written
for the grand stage
of my subconscious


almost like real life

FauxGrr he visits in my sleep,
not_in_a_sexual_way
just present in my space
where memories float unnamed.

a quiet smile,
no words between us spoken,
while I wonder at this haunting
of a silence never broken.

decades have passed in waking hours
since last i held his name,
what pulls him from the buried past
to wander through my head?
some thread left loose?
a story unfinished?
why does it fill me with dread?

does he see me in his sleep,
or am i dreaming alone?
i tried to reach him recently
silence was all I was shown
back then i built my walls up,
kept him beyond my reach,
afraid of what he may destroy
if i let feelings breach.

now exhaustion fills the spaces
where wonder used to live,
and i'm weary of this aching,
of having more to give.
