A Scattered Place
Home,
Neither here, nor there,
A scattered place.
The pieces would all fit,
If only I could move more than just mountains.
The pieces -
Sun-glittering friendships and sincere oceans,
Passionate lakes and peacefully-deep lovers,
Sweet-green solitude and sufficiently-hollow hills,
Blood and sweat forests and shadowy-elegant relatives
- All Scattered.
Heaven,
Neither here, nor there.
If only I could play God with these fragments of my life,
As I have played with the adjectives of his pieces.
The place...
"Ladies and Gentlemen.
Welcome to...
Scattered!"
Juliet
She rises in the east,
Hanging in the imagination
Until my dusk.
I dream of her release.
She never sets,
Remaining in my youth
- A lark in time -
Fluttering in the mind,
Reviving juvenile flight.
Flicker, flicker, flicker...
That first light ripples,
On waves inside
Where Romeo resides,
Trapped by the dawn.
