The Vaguest Place
By KissTheSkyPH
Choking on the cloudy air,An empty place without you there.In the corners of my mind,Too many things I’ve left behind.The friendly fire chills And the silky silence kills,While I forlornly stalkA thirteenth hour on the clock.My cringing from this happy havenHas marked myself a hopeless craven.Diversion is my only friend,Distraction helping me defendAnd conceal my discontentWith kindness ever nicely lent.But reminders, run away,Haunt this holy house todayAnd I cannot take the spiteThat sets my restlessness alightTo re-embrace that happy sorrowThat will evade me yet tomorrow.Lacking charms and social gracesShabby, seeing brighter placesBut, away, I am to trip and fumble.Returning harked by heralds, humbleHome is more than where or far,Trancedent here of is and are.I’m missing where my comfort lies:Warm, at home, within your eyes.Dec. 2000, Written October 27th, 2001 © on Oct 26 2001 05:01 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
