Footsteps

-

 "foot steps"

a nightmare of fear

days darker

and nights louder


happiness folds

under my feet

beneath soles

sorrow unfolds


at every thought

peace froths

like a bubble 

esteem pops

 

along flights

over avenues 

left only in the past

was i scathed


footstep symphonies

thoracic drum beats

squeals and slams

"dare not scream"


in between my legs

the pains are gone

still in the heart and

daily meals are pills


tears never to dry

aches of endless symptoms 

of a forever syndrome

why me, why you uncle?

Lachrymal Potrait

Our love story begins a time and moment I let you go a day I walk through that back door footsteps marked by trails of driblets feelings over brims of my entrails spilt all around like grains of sand sinking down like sands of time a one way ticket trip to greyscales haunted shadows of our phobias. The wind seems colder out here quite reclessier in your absentia I hold fingers out for a search stroll over tips and nibs of broken pencils  only a brash but not a droplet of ink with ink from a lachrymal fountain I cast lashes and strokes of driblets adroitly tracing your pretty face into a tear stained painting.    Everyday I stand in front of a mirror is a Halloween it's freaky Friday glancing at my own reflectance I see not less than a fierce archer thrilled more than I'm lost in dread and the unprecedented nightmares  to see my other self with own hands tearing down all that we've built  turning everything around me into a world of broken dreams. Now that I've known not
