Fragile

Weft and warp within the tapestry

of our existence

Composed carelessly yet knotted

without illusion

Unfettered weave hold spaces

that explored

your fears, joys, demented soul

 

 

I held my own amid your callous equations

In a world alien to my gentle heart;

While you chose mistakes, guided by

treacherous rules that tore

my sensibilities apart

Didn’t let yourself go, didn’t hear my simple words

But now you want to become more

And inner solitude shatter

Unstilled thoughts scatter

Distilled awareness bring

reason to its knees

 

 

Oh friend, why do you insist

on gleaning sweet daydreams

From armoured shell resist

Seek heavy words troubled to describe

Sullen passion conflicting to hide

Confront unreal world through my hooded eyes

Mock insincere denial in disguise

Cross thresholds that kept us sane

From dancing naked in the twilight when tides wane

 

 

Turn, turn again

Sweet sensibility

Turn, turn again

Fragile identity

Rope in the invisible boundary

Reign in words that set the heart free
