• Once again here I sit..alone and restless
    hearing their voices without even listening...

    One soft and enticing
    the other deep and smooth
    like two cats crouching in the grass
    ever hiding
    always seeking

    so close and so distant to me
    a soothing mockery
    to carry me sweetly into madness

    a visage of something long sought
    mirages of battles long fought
    trophy’s won but never received
    then placed high on a shelf
    just beyond reach

    Omnipresent emptiness
    omnipotent loneliness...
    drowning in a sea of faces...
    and none but myself to call my own.

    To reach for the sun pushes it further away,
    and to grab it shall burn the flesh from bone.
    Two destinies like a double helix...
    Always close but never touching.....
