Something about October
The air washes over me
In its soft breeze
Lifting my spirit high
And opening my heart
Something about October
The still water calls to me
In its gentile waves
Allowing trust to open me
I can fall
Something about October
The loose ground absorbs me
Standing strong below
I can only be steadied
Showing my full strength
Something about October
Flames burn hotter
Hurting the flesh less
Reminding me how to dance
Igniting me within
Hollow words ring falsehoods
In the morning mist
What whispers will follow
When will it end
The destiny of the week
Compelled into the sadness
Of one girl
Uncertain how it went wrong
The wide-open desert is very cold in summer
Look at all the footsteps you’ve left behind
Feel the grains of sand go between your toes
I miss winter, the warmth it brings
The sun is beating on my back. I can’t stop
Where are the delirious?
I see no oasis in the distance
Just move sand to put behind me
Nightfall is so far away
My mind can’t rest then
I miss my warmth
The desert is so cold
Weathered
Unable to move
Exhaustion takes over
From a tired life
Unlived
Secondary seconds
Are lost times of opportunity
And sleeping is the easy way out
With tomorrow
The day will end
Leaving the dead
Alive
my memories
awaken unaware
of the hidden horrors
forever found in
drifting dreams
I’m intruded
every evening
with whispers of
past problems
scenes seducing insanity
cheating childhood
from one girl
