in between

 

 

He is besides the point

whom is it that passion anoints?

is it at the point of his spear?

add one more night for leap year

there is a lover behind this shaft

he controlled his tears while the clowns all laughed

 

risen rigid again inside his box

sometimes it is hard to tell stones from rocks

afraid he suffers when outside the bottle

he can only lose his wings with no hands on his throttle

he is possessed within the darkened haze of rage

his eyes reveal a bitter seethe then disengage

 

all his strange tendencies crush love, as he seems to fall

from charming moments and onto his masquerade ball

his shadowy states in the dull pain of an old addiction

he is equal to the heat from a coefficient of friction

permanently he will hover above this once lovely scene

now, he will have to kneel, because he is not prone nor standing,

 

he is in between
