the realm of possibility.
If I could take sweet breath again, wade spent
through murky depths of shadows sinking, silent
'neath swollen seas of my own dear lament,
just if the Fates would pause and part away,
Then surging blazing light would fly as I
soar to the shining sky of vast expanse,
and watch intensity in my mind's eye:
the limitless, immortal Psyche's dance
And then perhaps I'd take once more the chance
of day; the realm of possibility
that floats among our dreams at night: a glance,
a glimpse of our own pure futility.
Yet tides come in, returning to their place
and I will but yield to their cold embrace.

An Ode to Lost Umbrellas
He sees her on a rainy day, when she is not looking. Her eyes are blue and her hair is red and her frown, he thinks, does not quite suit her. It wasnt so much her prettiness that caught him, nor her bright, bright hair. She has a white umbrella. It is quite simple and it is quite plain but it is an umbrella (something that he forgot). Everything else just rushes up in the masses like all the stars in the sky as he just happens to notice that her long, slim hands fingering something hanging round her pale, slender throat and a lock of hair just curls adorably, settling on the side of her face as she turns (and that he really has been sta

It is the sound that many have already grown accustomed to. It is the short, quiet time that resides between the eerie silence of evening and the stressed, crammed light of day. The printer hums quietly in the distance, its soft, constant presence a gentle harmony against the low murmur of the surrounding students, the tapping of keys and the scratching of pencils, the flicking of pages and the scraping of chairs. There is the emptying of bags and finishing homework; weary procrastination lingers not so far off in the distance. It is the sound of the School Library.
Someday I hope that you will see it,
Staring right back at you,
And you will be wondering where it came from -
But then you'll think
And wait a pause,
As to why it is so familiar -
Because somewhere,
In the darkness,
When no one is looking,
A little flutter,
A slight reminder,
Of my silhouette lingers near
For as the sun can shine no brighter
And you can't go the distance
No matter how much I keep fading
I'll still keep loving you
But then you've always been the lucky one,
Never wondering why or how,
or looking behind your shoulder,
Protected from that shining brightness,
By a shield that I just can't touch.
And as the s
A little whisper,
Grazing my cheek,
A tiny flutter,
As I slowly turn away,
Just as if you were really there.
I met you once,
Standing at a crossroad,
You had me,
And I had you,
And we wondered where to go,
Slowly, eyelids closed,
As the memories wove their way into our hearts,
Such an intricate design,
So delicately strong,
Such a blessed curse;
I often wonder,
If as we passed,
Crossing as we did,
If you really thought
About the future
And us about the other
But then again,
If youre at fault,
Then so am I,
Maybe even,
Almost possibly more so than you
Now as I tie a ribbon in my hair,
once upon a time
I had always believed
That a beginning shaped an end
And the journey simply made it all worthwhile
But how is this possible?
How was I to know that my beginning was never yours?
And yet my questioning gets me nowhere
And at this place of nowhere,
Between the realms of happiness and reality,
I dream so much,
So overwhelmingly...
Undefined
So much like the line between love and hate;
And now I know,
That rules must always break,
And life is all one big exception.
But yet I thought,
I really hoped,
That at least you would be somewhere where I could love you,
And that there would be someone to
