I closed my eyes but the
Darkness would not take me
Languishing in empty linens
All dreams dithered by
What arose in my heart
The poet philosophers
Ran through my head
Their disjointed acumen
Failing to assuage
Or provide clarity
To my lack herein
Never ready to let go
Of that which already
Has drifted off to sea
The clock burns
A slow processional
Tick forward to
Mark the end of
Self incited riot
That moment
That was merely a second
That became an epoch
A silence of more
Than just one heart
A dampened darkness
Submerging in the blackness
I prayed for all my life
Only to come back with
The arrival of a scream
