Who's There?
I am who I am, who else could I be?
My impressions have been seen but not felt
my words have been felt but not heard
my many tongues have tasted but never spoke a word
I've flown high but never high enough
I am trepidation
I am the nausea in your belly
I am the smell of sulfur in a candle lit room full of sodomites and sacrificial lambs
I am a skipping stone now plunging through depths known only to the earth itself and the loneliest of incubi
I cannot drown
I cannot swim
I do float in between crashing waves of disillusionment
I don't mind watching as it happens
my work is not soiled
it is soaked
wet and heavy
like a bloated bleeding heard
or a prize winning hog stuck with a butchers cleaver driven by mad ambition
I am in the making
sanity is waxing and waning
but especially the moon is aware
phases
are just another path
to another door
leading
inviting
dividing
with an outcome that's all the same
I know your love
what is my name?
About the Creator

I'm a small town (small state) writer, born and raised in Rhode Island. My goal is to share and gain wisdom through writing, ultimately teaching and being taught by the lost, broken and/or discouraged souls of the world, one word at a time.
