castaway

stress was never my friend

into the vortex of activity
i am drawn by as if by a magnet
but once sucked inside
i am regurgitated spume
adrift on the sea








End of the Road

Only when you are truly lonely
And weary of the world's glare
Will you turn away
And feel its lash upon your back.

Only when you are truly lonely,
In the last stretch of your imagination,
Will the last lamppost
Shine its lambent gaze upon you.
