gray

I have learned to interpret silence. My mind splutters, on the verge of an idea, and once again disappears into the abyss. An ocean cannot freeze. Sometimes I wish it would. 

Enthralled by mysteries, the intoxicating paradox of my mind brings extreme hilarity. 

Do I strive to become another Daphne, or let this perplexity lead?  

I live in stacks of books, with no more room on the painted bookshelf. White polished furniture built my habitat. My poems are full of obscure imagery. I seem to be a nomad with a single destination.

Iceland engulfs my eyes. Mountain arch brows trace my unspoken thoughts. My wind-nipped face slowly softens as the day disappears. 

The eerie irony of my unfinished masterpieces goes unspoken. Déjà vu is some form of manifestation for me. Blindly hinting, as I watch in amusement over coffee and scribbled shopping lists. Every night, I fall asleep to the rattle of the subway, and the skeletal murmur of the city

and I rue the day when impulse will leave me just as my childish nature did years ago.
