within a cage
my human stain
glass wall
choppy river water
dreaming
ocean free
reflection
deep within that shadow play
ah, my river sighs
time lost to a siren’s call
cloud dancing
just a silent song
when a man longs
for a moment of free
a taste of a faraway sea
rhythm
deep within rhyme
no tears
on the lost moments
i’ve just fallen
onto the stage
of a one act play
where only
the dead playwright
lies beyond these doors
doors made from
rice paper reason
words fall
when tomorrow
never dares.
blood drops
upon an ocean warm
