Dripping

Cauldron of light bubbling unseen

behind walls the eyes invent,

lightning dreams in pinprick snorts

of sight to reach into the darkness.

 

Chaos and clamor change the heart

to claw at life with fingernail insecurities.

 

Lives passing in hallways of noon

floating as passion's ghost ships,

lips smiling to hide the chains

holding one prisoner

unto a cage

where one feels no more free

than a animal in the zoo.

 

Most carry this millstone

by pain and sorrow's steps,

never able to see tomorrow

a place lacking panic's phantoms.

 

For the hands of quill occupancy

each shadow and quake

is but a chance to dip one's ink

into the muse's well.

 

Spilling it as parchment,

sometimes vivid, others dark,

but always having one's fingerprints

to say this is my voice

within the world.
