Pathways

Sifting through thoughts,

pulling the ache through searing veins

Emotional addict

Internal Mantra flowing and ebbing brooks within

Numbly, or so I seem, flashing life abstractly through my mind

I keep the pace of scattered images so quick,

enabling the power of their impact

To shift away to the next, just in time

Barely in time, stopping the bite of bitter or sweet

Self induced solitary confinement with steely resolve

Doors, paths, hearts Opening wide

Closing Hard
