Me & Periphery

Glassy memory wrestles me with scorn Envisioning our flame once ever-bright, Natural in flowing charm, such love reborn To reflect divine creation each night. Revelry taunts with dodgy clarity; I’d abandoned the triumph of fervor Forgetting such colossal rarity In my float, this bobbing life preserver. Caustic regret pulls my soul asunder As the fool, undeniably aloof, The walking embodiment of blunder Isolated with messages as proof, Outside your sphere to wile away my end Never to be welcomed home as your friend.
