New starts (more lines, more uncertainties, more words, words, words)

I'm standing here facing a new intersection
And I'm thinking about the possibility of another reinvention
While my friends laugh and joke about a personal intervention
I wonder what it'll look like when I get my own attention
I just can't seem to get my own attention

So on I walk, and further I'll go
New faces to meet and new seeds to sow
Some time on my own to wonder and to grow
Where I'll end up is impossible to know

I said goodbye again today and left it all behind
I didn't shed a tear because I already knew it in my mind
I smiled as I walked away, knowing that I'll find
Someone to make everything in my world shine
Why can't I hold on to anything that will make my world shine

But on I walk and further I'll go
New faces to meet and new seeds to sow
Some time on my own to wonder and to grow
Where I'll end up, only time will really show.

Disjunct sets and lines and quatrains

It's getting on,
It's late into the evening
As I wander through these halls alone
I wonder what I'm missing

I picked up a broom earlier today
To sweep up all that's broken
I found myself sweeping up myself
With the broom that I was holding

I can't get past all these shadowed rooms
That lie quiet in the dark
Some say they're harmless, they cannot bite
But they've seem to have made their mark

I'm slipping on Fridays, sliding on Saturdays
And Sundays I try to find my feet

Falling hurts more when you jump in
And never seem to find the bottom.

Subtle betrayals

The sun outside my window
Is betraying my misery
I'm stuck here, sitting, thinking
of all the places I'd rather be.

Curses (incomplete thoughts)

Curses cross the oceans
As do lightning storms
The winds blow in
Their regret and sin
And leave before the morn

Long hiatuses

Another murder lies beyond my window
These birds just cannot seem
To quell their morning howling
Or to stop indulging in their screams
Dark omens cause these small concerns
To flit like sparrows in the yard
But I know the places I am goin'
Well, they'll be taking me real far
And so the day still shines on
And there's sunlight all around
Old hearts will find the strength to mend
And new selves will be found
