Expression Exploding From Mind

Blown beyond simple comprehension;
Finding hidden whirling tasks,
Reaction reeling to unwind.
Sucking wind from vacuum.

Bouncing ideas off rejection;
Landing in unmade puddles.
Impressions one would steal.
Cold hard metal facts.

Looking at nothing seen;
Flying past undaunted future.
Head above swirling tomorrows.
Bottom drowning between lines.

Hills in distant vision;
Between eyelids and horizon.
Scraping cloudy sky dreams,
Rain drops replacing sadness.

Changing times thoughtfully dead,
Seconds away from eternity.
Lost skeptically below forever,
Farming out excess imagination.

Stroking faces never touched;
Still kissed by infatuation,
More given less wanted.
Grasping at valued nothingness.

To dance beneath waves,
Crashing on rock-less desire.
Held in cruel suspension,
Blending into blue-less obscurity.
