His Reality

Slipping, deteriorating

His mind hyperbolic

Illusive, agitated

Not to be trusted

 Distortions weave

Precariously at will
Concealing his goals
Tossing out his life's
Work

His dreams harnessed
By night's contempt
No longer ready to

Conquer his demons

Forever bound by

Time's Myth Keeper
Dangling hope's key
Hiding behind fear's
Shadow.

Two Old Friends

Walking, unconcerned

Reticent, caught in a downpour

Cherishing only each other
Ignoring night's rain
 

Its prowess hailing
Thunder and lightning
 Crackle across nights sky
Masking moon's solstice

Their hopes and dreams 
Lie in wait, anxious
Above lightning shadows
Cast this rainy night.

Edwin James

So here I find

Myself writing yet

Another poetry blog

But why - where is

This all leading

Should I even

Care or need to

Rationalize its
Unrealized
Poetic justice

Perhaps I am
Transcending or

Dreaming unable
To comprehend
Ascertain Hope's
Vulnerability remaining
Cognitive to what
Can still be.
