Written in stone

As my soul seeks to read my passage I write in tears so that my word my be sealed in stone, and the truth I write my one day be read by the seeker of my being,

By all that is, I am uninspired by my shallow self, an I have nothing of value to offer but the blood that flows in my veins, and I read my pages alone,

With my mind and soul adrift I become a creature of habit, a ghost that blush, and the vanity in it all is my inner laugh to myself,

I walk to a bassinet that is empty of this bastard’s mirrored image, with broken lullabies and nursery rhymes, that make me wonder, for cradle hug, and a mothers kiss, as I lay on no ones breast,

Contempt pushes me to boast, an a urgent need woos me,

With sympathy I pat myself on the back, in order to comfort the weeping cries of this man, as I lay in a decayed caucus of what is to be,

An a symbol that reads my name is hidden by my soul seeker,


And this book I rewrite over and over again, brings me no peace of mind,

The cradle although empty, doesn't mean the heart is empty as well. One can feel the love you have, and in time will be shared.
I've the feeling you've moved past the tears and into another dimension..
Embrace the flow..
