a seaping cauldron
a set out plank
down the hatch
through the doors
in spite of sanctum
we do endure
the love and lust
it comes with suffering
respute the feeling
transcend, report
on all or nothing
with wills and with worry
we seldom seek hurry
something draws me near
this door pressed to my ear
awoken, startled at the sight
reach out and finish
this battle ends the fight

It has come to my attention that you are not fully aware of the words you speak. It seems to me that you should reflect upon them for a while longer, as I have done, until you preclude the indicitive characteristics to a cup of coffee which has been left to rest. Though I still agree with the importance of your aforementioned virtue, fortitude, I do believe I would add an addendum to this story.

promises laid to swamps
casting stones into the lake
faces unseen in the waters reflection
muck and haze, nothing is seen in the wreckage
looking to the sky to see the wake
nothing remains as one side sees not the other
staring too long, eyes burn
frigid warmth
as doors close and the light grows this chill evokes tingled skin
softly touched by warm hands, the truth of the past has only but sunk in
again we try to find the one--concilate one's needs--both biological and psychological

this gentlemen's agenda is one of simple obsession
the passing of time, life's disintegration is a game
aware of nothing, in past life from dust to sand--this little man
nothing changes except the time
when we blame him, we rarely find the truth
a truth so old it has a name
of the old, we will lament
until the day we all grow the same
the wise, the wiser

little man knocking
knack--knock-knock
the tone slightly changes
as the world is impacted
so are our exchanges
when the time comes
we will refrain from this

no binds, no restrictions, i'm alone in this scene
when humanity meets biology theres far less chemistry

this is the beginning of an ending,
which, must be told, is endless.

To coffee drinkers, romantics, and those whom carry the weight of their dependencies around their work places:
This question I hold for you is addressed to those who have regrettably lost someoneor something that they cared deeply for. It is not specifically speaking of death; more in a figurative meaning. My eyes were not quite open yet at the time this letter was written. My coffee was getting cold, so I took my mid-morning break early one day at work.
It was addressed to all whom know themselves as loving, caring individuals, whom believe they understand th
