Neither Here Nor There
Mr. Distance travels in spells
through me and then on
to nothingness.
I thought I felt a lifetime,
for a moment,
a lifeline.
It was only a mirage in
the oppressive heat
that I could never quite reach
no matter how hard I tried.
In that moment,
it seemed,
having a tiny glimmer of
something was better
than nothing,
but I was wrong,
I want and need it all,
no in between.

i think we all want it all but sometimes dont realize we already had it... at least in my case.
hey ray, thanks. I hear you, too.
Decomposed, i'm sure that happens more often than not.

very intense pace to this one DeeMer. So interesting how you could have stopped the poem after 'nothing' above and it would have been optimistic ;-) But you seem to live in absolutes. I mean c'mon, everything is a shade of grey after all....even black. Beautiful work *hug*
You're too good for him.
You're so damn right! haha.
lol ;)
This makes me think of those times when it all seems to make sense. You get talking and you're so happy that to anyone else it sounds like madness. Then the next day you can't remember what it was you were so happy about. I suppose it's just living.
