Beyond Borders

Suppose we met?

Suppose we became more than, ourselves?

Would we ever then truly meet?

Finding ourselves, beyond borders, beyond lands reached.

Soaring beyond this reality and into our own.

You’ve kissed my soul and laughed because it warmed you.

You’ve touched the artery that brings oxygen to my blood.

Beyond borders and walls, you’ve captured me, still.

Unable to move, I travel to you.

Sleepy yet so wide awake.

Dreams don’t exist, nor does separation.

Found in you, I live soaring in the expanse of you.

Humbling moving through life, living with in your wings.

You’ve breathed life into this soulless body.

You’ve purged my heart to beat, giving me life again.

Beyond boarders and walls, you’ve possessed me, whole.

________________________________________________________

Escalated, an eternity lost

Where do you go ‘in the moment’

Where do you row a real time fleet?

No anchor to past

No buoy to future

Split second decisions

Leading anywhere – nowhere

Travelling there - to here

A twist, a turn

Then back again

Repeating manic parrot

Frozen speechless, indecisive

Everywhere transformed

Warped stagnant, rutted

Hovering, gutted

No path, no plan

No hope, no fear

Too far, too near

Bags packed, blank maps

The clearest slate an unclear state

The firth of forth,

Medusa revisited

As tie racks & g-strings

Morph adore into abhor

Where to go in the moment

Where to row a finer fleet

No anchor to future

No challenge to meet

No buoy to past

Nor friends to greet

How long does pure thought last

Before it turns impure?

Before it escalates, decelerates

To flesh washed

Machinery?

A dying soul has pride

It wants to leave a trace

Unmask its ugly ride

Graffiti has its place

Foreswear the mighty tide

Each cog mucks into paste

Blood trickling bites

A Sylvan Wye

Of mercury taste

Each mangled slice

Expanse of waste

Left unidentified

To face a face defaced;

All fondly recognized

Has been erased

Awakening in my dream.

I know this place...

All these places

But not this moment.

Escalators like clockwork

Swimming in the surf.

Shoppers fill these halls

Before the tide comes in.

I came here to go swimming

But why am I dressed for work?

Marble walls enclosing

No sky above

Chilled sand below

Can this be my tomb?

One tick, this all seems normal

Two ticks, it can't be right.

Three ticks, its both at once.

Oh no, what comes after three?

Sinking up to madness

Rising down to terror

Walking neither flying

Shrinking standing still.

Suddenly, I can't name a thing

Names, numbers, colors or sounds.

And now I've lost my voice

Silent screaming in my mind.

Try to focus on the wet

Forgotten what the wet is called.

Panic encloses up to join the scream

Please help me close my eyes.

I look for signs to help my escape

Certain I can't read.

I want to swallow down the bile

Tongue, neck, throat control all gone.

Wake me from this

Take me from this

Tell me I'm still sleeping

Promise me I'll forget.

________________________________________________________

I look into my eyes,

And wonder how it can be...

Ups and downs try to define me,

Water tries to drown me.

I tell myself to walk on water,

I tell myself to hold on a bit longer,

My head is in the clouds,

My heart is under the ground,

My legs are in the sea,

I fall up, 

And swim through the debris...

Nothing is around me,

The possibilities are vast,

And you may ask what they are,

And let's be honest...

Reaching down deep,

Certainly leaves scars.

I dare you to look a bit further,

I dare you to reach down,

I dare you to stand up...

And tell me what you see.
