a few writings

Here are a couple of writings that I've done recently. Comment on them as you may. The first was written on the way home, and the second one was written after reflecting on Ephesians 4:22-24.

On Returning…

Flying over this broad water
My love sits somewhere beyond it
Somewhere throughout it.

Paralyzed by the impending
Captivated by the occurring
Growing from the passed time.

Can I hold you in my arms
So delicate, so safe?
I want you to be close, as I feel.

I feel this distance
It eats holes through space
Seeming to be filled slowly

This is nothing of your doing
You…simply…can’t.
Perhaps time will tell?

Where I did last hold
Be aware of it
Knowing nothing of where we might be

Despite the thought of loss
I am consumed by another…
Maybe I’m not the one in control?

A Study in Gerontology

Melting my obscenities
Obliterating this stone
That has replaced my heart
Not done by my own force
I cannot contain that kind of power

The external forces my internal
To laugh
To be comfortable

With my own sickness

But not to remain
Change is only happened by this:
The knowledge that I have to put me off
Despite him being gone…
