Window

The window through which you see me
Is a clock
That turns with a speed
I can’t comprehend
It changes the hour
And creates its own lies
It is sugar and acid
Deep within
It is current unseen
A rhythm that echoes
From a time long ago

Rule of three

It's the other side of the penny.
Thrown to the ground
in middle of the thoroughfare,
with such a soft landing
you think no one will know.

It's your bait
and your intent
as you make your own brand,
when you tie yourself up
and want to be found.

It's a rule of three.
When you hold the gaze
you spill your truth
and your smile in diffusion
becomes a scowl
when the rules are not your own.

This is

This is 5 year time
and a question I see
when I look in her eyes

This is 2 years down
with no words
that fades away when she returns

This is now
and the truth that falls
when she comes back

This is a shadow
that she lives and I feel
and the answer to why
her love and belief shine through

Where

It's where the waves fall
and my feet get wet
It's where the footsteps walk together
and walk right by
It's where the land rises
and where I fall
Surrounded
Encompassed
Within
