To You

Sometimes I get so upset at myself for allowing myself to fall so deeply in love with the thought of truly loving you.

Spending so much of my energy trying to be someone you would never appreciate.

SO overwhelmed with thoughts of one day being held a willing captive in your arms, snuggled safely in your embrace.

Often times I sit and pray for a breath absent of your scent - praying for a thought with no impression of you.

Secretly wishing that you and I could walk through a perpetual whirlwind together, in each other's smile - in each other's hearts.

I only can yearn so much to experience you before the yearning and desire transforms into a pure hate. I can only hold back the urge to know you - to really know you for so long before I have completely run out of words to pen the way I feel.

Silly Thoughts

Should I even be thinking these thoughts or even writing these words? Lying here alone in my bed thinking silly thoughts, ones that no one would dare to admit. Wondering where I was conceived - like the where would even matter if he who does not do what he was conceived to do. Wondering where the love of my life was conceived or had he even been conceived? These are the crazy things that crowd my mind and impede my senses. Struggling to make sense of senseless wonders and painless statements that no meaning. Reversed from my gradual ascension, I land here in the place where dreams lie to rest and vision are blurred by silly thoughts that gain strength from being still - not being moved to action. And with no motivation to believe, I find comfort, digging through piles of hollow pebbles, searching for the one stone that would add oxygen to a dying flame. Now where do I hide these silly thoughts that bounce in unequal patterns around in my head and I want to retract my feelings, but ...

What Kind of Man am I

What kind of man am I? I don't even know who I am...done spent the good part of my life in a constant state of change, being what they wanted me to be, doing things they needed done, desperately seeking, hoping to prove to them. But what kind of man am I? Never ever really defining self, my face an empty canvass...giving them paint brushes to draw on the face, driving me to a place where I move to the beat of their drum - dancing through a performance, directed by them, my insatiable audience. The performance I wish would end. So what kind of man am I? I want to break free f rom their chains, but the pains have become so familiar that I am afraid to move, afraid of the wounds that freedom expose. The comfort of my prison allows me to walk through life asleep, always hitting snooze on my dreams...dreams that lie dormant, with a lack of vision, infertile efforts discourage ascension. Periodically peeking my eye out of my cell, hoping to give hope a chance, but I sit and st...

Time Will

Feeling spiritually inclined I attempt to purge the pain with each line but still it's here and I wish I could erase the times when I stood outside me and watched myself break my own heart Like a helpless child afraid even to look his opressor in the eye I wonder how I became so estranged from myself. Once I knew who I was and where I wanted to be.  Now that me seems so far away. There is so much distance in the gap that even my bridge forged in tears and hope seems to be no match. So I hold fast to the thin shreds of faith that hold me still.  Shreds that keep me here when my mind has already abandoned its rented space. In auto pilot I crawl out of bed, I wash this vessel, I do my song and dance, and then I fall back into bed. I do take comfort in knowing that what I have not the strength or courage to do, as I coast through existance on auto pilot, time will. By Andrew J. Dorsey May 11, 2010 - 11:49 p.m.
