It falls inches from my toe,
This missile from origins wild;
Hurled by an unknown foe
Yelling indiscernible cries of war.
Why I caught his malevolent eye
And became chief target of his ire
Neither guess nor fathom I;
Yet his target I’ll ever remain.
And this senseless war
I now must tearfully wage,
And counter mischievous
Blows and baseless rage.
Whether I’ll victorious grow
Or in the end terribly lose,
Or merely settle for a draw,
High heaven alone knows.

Indiscernible Void
Fear all but quivers in the vastness of a void
With no borders to rest one’s eyes upon
The equilibrium spins with no direction to run
The expanse of the nothingness to large to avoid
Composure all but ceases as uncertainty invades
Questions left floating in indiscernible space
Existing becoming a name without a face
Drawn breath inaccessible as a life force decays

When I lie in bed at night
My mind pulls me away
Turns dark from the bright of day
Into a void that binds me tight.
Strangled by my thoughts
Don't want to be alone
Don't leave me on my own
A rope across my chest tied in a knot.
I can't move an inch
Can't think, only fear
Fear of truths far and near
As the darkness begins to pinch
Once at last I drift afar
From which I hope to never wake
As my mind begins to break
As up above drifts a lone star.

I glimpsed our horizon echoing Sun
Voluminous sets of waves whispered crest
Neath, its silent swarm's hushed sealife possess
A sullen saffron lens rise slumbered some
Dualities of grand expanse, lay calm
Aquarium of a glassless shore stills
The constant vastness of two voids fulfills
Indiscernible range touch spreads aplomb.
Hands to lips flung a kiss ferry o'er a crowded room as a single kiss falls to a floor, unnoticeable to all, except to its deliverer and of course, being the exploit,
A secretive chance for a budding romance enters a phase in shape of a maze of a hall of mirrors within a house of horrors and the vague, willing to the unable, engages,
Third times a charm enters the calm, of the quietude of an early eve's mood, as dusk make haste to night's embrace, the final endeavor in stages;
the audible...mute,
the visual...blind,
the indiscernible...void.
