HERE


…at this point now existing
Subsequent to youth
subsequent to flawlessness
Subsequent to maturity
Desolate from men
And bored to absurdity
Ripened, yet still remains
…the disposition
Even a comfort zone
Because you see,
Nothings really wrong
Just took a long time
to arrive


Looking behind
the obtuseness was
dangerous…
but somehow shaken
from the mind, as it grew
to a perspicacious life
A style of living
Discerning stupidity
Discerning ignorance
Discerning hate and immaturity
Now...
there is no room for such


This place of being,
is overwhelming the heart,
the sexuality and almost
…the spirit
So relaxed
Yet can one return?
With surgical steel, yes
But only the appearance
Not the core
Of ones journey
Held in the eyes,
the brain, the soul even


Carrying this paused
State of being
Everywhere…
as a shield of protection
to keep the destiny
of the soul
reposing in state.
