Flickering Of A Thought

Folder: 
Unpublished pieces

Forgive such empty words
they arrive from empty heart.
The pain must permeate.

A stranger stands
somewhere in the flickering
of a thought.
He seems to be talking to me.
Words of wisdom, words of charm.
They did not reach my ears.

I had shut out
consolation and
absolution.
I have sinned.
I have failed.

Blue black sky that does
not bring sunlight.
Hesitation and fear
are the only words I recognize.

Forgive such helpless sands
that are
collecting
like
bubbles in a bath.

Snap them up,
they are the only
good things
left to drown.
