Homeward Bound (2009)

Yet another angst filled rhyme...

If I were,

Was I?

If I was,

Am I?

 

A train I took

Into the snowy night

Knowing the way

Yet angst filled

 

Homeward bound

Or, just another place

Crisp the air

Thoughts deep

 

Pondering a priorily

Strangely familiar

Knowing a posteriorily

Summarily extraordinary

 

Bound I was

Chained to the past

Summoned to the future

Stuck in the present

 

A world within

A life without

I cannot

Not know

 

I look

See I cannot

Listen I do

Hear I cannot

 

Your eyes

Your words

A world for me

To be

 

Tossed about

Confused by order

A world too late

Or too soon

Like the trains of the night

Destinations to make

Strangers and friends

On their way

 

Separate ways

Crossed paths

If only once

Touched by another

 

We find ourselves

Vulnerable, defenseless

Barriers and facades

Help us through the journey

 

Seldom found

A kindred soul

Reaching out

A morsel to share

 

Rare the moment

When a connection made

A spark ignites

The eternal flame

 

Drawn as a moth to flame

Daring to burn my wings

I flit about

Your wit and charm

 

Not knowing what harm

Will come if

Too close I dare

The pain that befalls
