Letting Go
Another year nebs by zero
As empty gardens gate outflux
By delusions picket, white and wooden
Lined long sidewalk memories crooks
Bits of heart still scattered amidst the grass
Cross seasons, forever weathered change
A tear, a leaf ...a flake always fall away
Like you, the sapor in my life astray
Deep within me somewhere still
You so much, siphon off my energies
To waste and wither in each of waking days
Teetering upon the edge, thus living off of fantasies
Puddles in my dreams, kept upon my nighttime pillow
From where I stand wishes within the day, and wait
Onto worn tiles intimate below my peering window
Outside, "Dead End" a road sign reads, and in my mind...
down a one way street
