a harmony on strings of dreams
soft music tarries on night's seams
it sings a song that makes me whole
a melody within my soul
i hear the sounds aloft through sleep
an assonance composed so deep
soft beats my heart it does extol
a melody within my soul
i hum this tune within my mind
the words amiss i cannot find
though through my dreams it does inscroll
a melody within my soul

Ripping my sanity
Here in the pit of a sanctified cavern
Darkness invades every pore of my soul
Grasping at walls made of stone, cut and jagged
Tearing my flesh as my fingers inscroll
Carving a poem of granite intentions
Phrases of love fall as dust to the floor
Evidence trailing in breaths hardly reasoned
Nothing to rhyme as I lose so much more
Drowning in questions while heavens are bleeding
Puddles of crimson abound at my feet
Shoveling dreams in a creviced delusion
Sunk in the mud till I can not retreat
Loneliness shouts in the stillness demeaning
Echoing chambers deplete in my heart
Calling my name which I now have forgotten
Ripping my sanity cleanly apart
Clutching my hands of the blisters now forming
Pain wreaks its havoc beneath severed skin
This is my fate, an abyss never fading
Bring on the end for I’m lost once again
Loosely inspired by Anne Marie Coreggia’s poem “Timeless Cave”
