Yes
I am escaping from myself
I am escaping deep and wide
far away and into the darkest oceans
I am looking for you
but I do not want to find you
I am looking for something
something special
The part
Where I simply look for the unfound amuses me
That is the fun part
No
I do not want to find you
I do not want to find what I'm looking for
What I am looking for is lost
That is what I should believe
I should keep searching
I should keep consuming more of myself into ashes
I should believe
And I should Crystallize
What a Neurosis
Yes writers are insane
I am one Mr. Freud
I now owe you the adjective
and sanity shall indeed be leaving the scene
I am somewhere different
somewhere unseen
unexperienced
unknown
unvisited
unlost
so many uncast shadows
today it's about all the un's
the lies we hold ourselves with
shape and charade
we look for something
not want to find it
looking itself is a process
finding is an event
you can't keep finding
when you find it
the game is over
and this verse is for all the un's
I want to keep living
what a poet is for
if not a process
a poet evades the event
an event happens
but a poet is an existence
and a poet is many more
so powerful to change the designated title
who am I it says
listening her own voice
it was everything and nothing they ever wanted
it was absent
and it was lost
it was unfound and unimagined
it was undetermined and impossible
the poet considered it impossible
like the infamous hatter once did
he was too
MAD
the poet looked for the unfound and unimaginary
keeping her own reality sacred and to her own
it was all of and about her dreams once
one day she lost
one day she lost them
one day she lost everything and nothing she ever wanted
she was finally unidentified
everything and nothing she ever wanted
all the years she spent
trying to find the name
trying to inscribe the names
now realising it was all about being no one
no one can be anyone
anyone can be everyone
and that simple it was
her fight brought her back to nothing
and nothing finally meant everything
what she was going to name it now
it was nothing
all that was naught had been for something
something destroyed a thing
a thing was lost in the middle of unfound
it was unnecessary and undesired
she wanted to make nothing out of it
nothing was everything
everything was something
and in the end she see-d
all of it has been about one thing
those were not the days
The Names.
The names she looked for
the names she lost herself in
in her away days she'd been happy
in her away days she'd been no one
she was everything and all the things no one thought to have
it was all undetermined
and unsudden
she felt when to stop
and when to write
a poet should now
that everything is undetermined as anything
a poet should now
reality is what we prescribe ourselves
reality
is the drug
human-made
human-saved
distributed eternalong
a poet is not required to have the answer
but the thought
and a thought is the candidate of reality
but reality
is all about The Names.
The Deadly
Names.
The Deadly Names.
The lonely, and often contradictory journey that is the creative, wonderfully described with all its intensity
