Underneath
I wait in the cold.
I hope that I am known.
Dice roll away from me.
Suddenly, warmth.
Kars
I am not in Kars anymore.
The settling of snow
Crescendos an unsettling of practice.
Carried in a snowdrift
Towards my abysssal home
Welcomed with warm veils.
He looks the luckiest man alive
Glinting in Aladdins cave
Hands dancing freely
Yet shackled to doomed inevitability
The fight against jealousy, man’s cruellest demon
Threatens to devour.
Bluff
I will lie to you.
Dancing words between the House of Cards.
A new Queen of diamonds smiles
Ambiguous seduction of the Jack of Hearts
As the King resists.
Lies impenetrable without secret thought.
Dont strauss about it.
Dive into the abyss, holding each other.
The House of Cards remains standing
With goodness shuffled away.
Jigsaw
Held on a pathway for our longest eternity
The hands slip, her head dips
Mine held high as I walk proud
Towards the fire
Scorched to a husk and reborn,
Renewed vigor and fire on empty foundations
Scoring and laying meaningless victories
Fleshing over yesterdays insecurity.
Midnight over the water.
Times uniqueness washes away.
Walls shaking.
Eyes not seeing.
Another box, another peace.
Missing my jigsaws central piece.
Knowing its real
But out of reach
The search carries me forward
I will not cease.
