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
