It hasn't been clear in a long time

It hasn't been clear in a long time

I had wanted to see your face again

But when all the clouds on Earth align

It's hard to see the face of a friend.

It hasn't been clear in a long while

And I've been longing greatly

To see, once more, your beautiful smile

But something always abates me.

It hasn't been clear for a long time

And yet the sky is starry

As I stare through the needles of pine

and see your face in front of me

It hasn't been clear for me

And something has been missing

For my realm is dark and lonely

Without your lips for kissing

It hasn't been clear in a long time

And though I rarely see you

It's good to know that you're still mine

Behind curtains of water, peeking through.

The Definition of Insanity

The definition of insanity,

as told to me

was told simply:

Doing the same thing multiple times,

expecting a different result.

And yet, here I am again

At a digital pen and paper

Tapping, a rapping at my computer keys.

I am forcing the lines

Out through my fingertips

Every time I sit down.

I rack my brain for answers, then

something different happens.

I must be insane.

Else insanity is much more

than humanity could have imagined.
