SURREAL

musings 
 past & present
 linger long
    perspective
 changes all
mellowness
   of memory
   gathering 
dust
brooding
in
  a contemplation
so
vulnerable 
   in thought
unsure in deed
fear interplays 
     with 
       unsaid concerns
 slip
into the shallows


still-born
 perpetually
   reciprocates 
 inner yearning 
grows
a seminal paraphrase
I saw 
an image blue
a memory
  fleeting yet true,
awaiting me
 to portrait
I tried 
to re-capture 
this dream,
reality's 
not how it seems,
   it flows & ebbs 
as morning mist
frustration
streams out
   soundless sighs
forever lost
this unique insight
when suddenly
I start to write
