Excerpt from my Poetry Collection, “Noctis Aeternae”

Hiatum//

What we seek 

must seek us too.

Nefarious addicts latched shut

behind locked doors, High 

Atop Towering pebble of thought,

 God’s cerebral design. 

Wherein a tenant dwells, alone, confined. 

Awaiting the moment, 

when windows will fly. / 

{they jump}/

*

Don’t jump, No sin if

No witness in sight. So,

Come see if you’d like. 

Its Hymn Sacreligious to Bonds. 

I’m breathing this song, 

Arms tangled, belts looped

 as though we’re 

Submissive to knots. 

They say listen to God.

I took notes on the Pope, 

for a mission abroad.

His mind often roamed, 

Almost as though 

The light which bestowed was awaiting a rupture, 

His lips uttered pleas, he implored for a Mother,

“Please! Don’t release me, 

just smother.” 

What we seek, must seek too./ 

*

Nefarious addicts latched 

behind locked doors,

Contorted bodies, hunch in sync

In circles gathered, wounds un-blink.

Shrunken souls In Drunken Bliss

with folded ribs, contort and sink

Toward ruptured panes, that always break. 

they jump in vain, but mostly miss. How slow is the fall To nothingness? 

Cataclysmic pause, in soft abyss. /

*

Their minds, once trapped in mortal chains,

now free from fear of earthly rains,

into the void, they drift and spin

lost upon a Cosmic wind. 

What we seek, seeks too. /

For in the void, we see our dreams

What lies beyond the noise, unknown,

When all that’s left are silent screams?

A chasm vast, a fear well-grown?

Our hearts are heavy, burdened beams

Inward spirals, blood in streams

What lies beyond the noise, unknown,

When all that’s left are silent screams?

What we seek, seeks too. /

*

*

And in that seeking, we must renew.

A tide of thoughts, both old and new.

The depths of mind, a hidden crew,

As currents shift, a subtle cue.

What

 we 

seek,

 seeks 

us

too.
