Chronicle of Dreaming Man
Every morning,
he would row his boat
gently down the stream,
merrily,
thinking life is but a dream.
He was not concerned with how things worked,
but rather how they seem
inside his often broken heart,
In Plain Sight
As
I lay hiding,
confiding
to no one
and no thing,
the remnants of past selves
bring
me pain
inside the heart
I pretend is my brain
is a boy,
so scared
to share himself
with a world
Soft Feelings
Soft feelings are hard to let go,
especially when they bleed
into dreams
and streams
of consciousness
that meander and flow
into places I do not understand
or know.
Broken people made whole
inside the hole
within the sphere of the heart
of the soul
and liquid dreams,
