forever hunting
amongst barren grounds
a craving consciousness,
never satiated
searching for
another dose of dopamine
and spending another night
asleep with the lights on
rinse,
repeat
until you run out of breath
in the dark
shadows move freely in the dark
there are holes in the walls again
i can’t see the other side
but i think it sees me
if leaving was an option
would you still stay?
or does this only exist
because we’re here
watching?
eyes closed
you fell asleep at the wheel again
hoping that your unconscious
would take you somewhere new
you dreamt of oceans,
lush forests, and blue sky
and woke up on asphalt
under the same starless night
you always do
immortality
isn’t forever
simply a notion?
what’s everlasting could be
fleeting
with perspective
i’d prefer
to live inside moments
and when they fade
so will I
rhythmic union
that song’s
been in my head for days
the sound, reminiscent
of times that felt wasted
but in hindsight
they were all that mattered
a rhythmic union
truth within a moment
soon to be a forgotten feeling
brought back to life in memories
that slowly slip away
the tighter you hold on
blinded
cyclical beings
afraid of running in circles
do we exist
within ourselves?
or are we simply
reflections of reality
a rippling visage
reflected back atop shallow water
the answers
lie within the journey
imperceptible
until you stop searching
creative
the daunting canvas presents
endlessly elusive possibilities
where does
inspiration hide?
certainly not in these pages
