Drifting aimlessly, mine aspirations are illusionary.
Drifting aimlessly, mine spirit becoming less and less lively.
Drifting aimlessly, mine life is miserably empty.
whispered
on the threads
of darkness
my secrets
drift aimlessly
in this wind
in hopes
they reach you
before morning
arises again
(just a scribble)
on the wings
of autumn's wind
my mind drifts
into the arms
of you
i lose myself
in the depths
of thoughts
as i drift
aimlessly
through
dreams
into the arms
of you
my mind drifts
on the wings
of autumn's wind

Disconnected from the people
and the things that I hold dear
On a course through time and space
I wonder what I'm doing here
Black miasma overwhelms me
paralyzing life and mind
I feel like I'm the piece that's missing
from a puzzle I can't find
Cold stagnation ever seeping
ever creeping in my soul
All my yearnings and my longings
keep me in this deep dark hole
With the knowledge that I'm drowning
in a pool of my own fear
Aimlessly adrift, I wonder
what the hell I'm doing here
Drifting aimlessly
I have sipped the ladled blades
in this cold chicken soup
Set upon a table of just deserts
on the far end of the horizon
Spoon fed disappointments
staining a multi-colored tie,
hated for what it’s worth
and only half as much for what it means
Navigating a narrow hallway
of slanted photographs, framed and fading
Dripping down papered walls,
torn designs, baseboard gatherings,
stopping only for locked doors,
weather worn carpets
burning my hands and knees
The spiral staircase teeters on its polished axis
as I weave my way towards the furthest star,
carbon copied desires on an unending page
rolled and stuffed in my shirt pocket, mapping
each pie slice step, counted and forgotten of
crusted blueberry footprints…crumbs
falling through celestial cracks,
drifting aimlessly
Aimlessly
I wander through this world
Lost, alone and afraid
I've taken much more, than I've given
And I've broken every promise I've made
I wake up every morning to the misery
Of each mistake, I've made on my own
Am I dying or living I'm not sure
I just know, I can't face this alone
Aimlessly
I wander through this world
Lost, alone and afraid
I've taken much more, than I've given
And I've broken every promise I've made
I'm finding relief in the bottle
And bad habits, are so slow to fade
Redemption was a chance I was given
But it seems, to sin I'm a slave
Aimlessly
I wander through this world
Lost, alone and afraid
I've taken so much more, than I've given
And I've broken, every promise, I've made
Aimlessly
I wander through this world
Uncertain of what is to be
Shameful and broken, searching and hoping
Still I wander
Aimlessly
Still I wander....
Aimlessly....
I am no longer hurt I’m numb
Dead man walking
I can't feel a thing
Dead man walking
Tears have dried up
Dead man walking
I merely exist
Dead man walking
Me and the Tin Man are the same
Dead man walking
I am no longer here nor there
I’m simply a “Dead man walking “ aimlessly
3-22- 18
Light raft floating
drifting for a breeze
Sailing aimlessly
Going into nothingness
Yet drifting on a bed of certainty
Am I a harbouring passenger
OR a willing vessel
bobbing hither and tither
with the confidence of the waves
Whether willing or by direction
I steeped the ocean's floor
Whether I was cleaning or just sweeping
I traversed the carpets shore
Where was my comfort to be sought
OR my intimacy to be dreamt
For where have you seen a twig with dreams
OR the blazing glory of a shoot
There's no compass for relief
Only certitude was certainty,
The assured conviction
That truth is fact!
an apology approaches awesome ambience
adverse advances amass at altars
academically aroused arcades are absolved
astonishingly abrupt adverbs articulate arduously
atlas awakens all around
arrggghhhhh audacious aardvarks attack aimlessly
Gently flowing like a breeze
Trickling water so carefree
Not raging as a river flows
Just peacefully along it goes
Aimlessly drifting this tiny brook
Flowing softly through every nook
Not having a specific destination
Just longing for some appreciation
Passing through a forest of trees
Wildflowers and fallen leaves
Until at last it eventually meets
A mighty flowing stream or a creek

Can think of nothing else to do except write.
Sitting and thinking about her face and voice.
Nothing else matters but the subtle distain.
Quiet inside now. Metallic taste slips in.
Copper maybe??? Not to sure of it now.
Breathless, lifeless, and not taking it anymore.
Feel that? That is the air thinning, suffocate!
That’s this baseball bat to the back of your head!
That the noose around your neck, tightening!
That’s the bullet to your brain…soft and warm.
Pulse quickens! Feel that? Shorter breaths. Feel that?
That’s panic, that’s life, that’s love!
