odeeeil

in a capsule of a moment
we find truth for ourselves
when surrounded, outnumbered
enclosed in frivolity tepid waters
feel like oceans of numb waves
careening toward a black screen
to catch us
when we break against it
blackouts in the city of love;

breakout from circling
time takes us all
finding the trust to hold
a surrounding of your own

bring within your heart
a novelty curse
to be all you want and
want something more;
I gave what I held
and held with my hand
your open book
and read it at last.

Serenity is blinding when you sit alone in the night; dreaming of starfish with their legs cut off. Regrowth before the next tidal wave, new beginnings are always at bay.
