Rationed Words

His silent simmering 
Was a beacon 
For those adrift 

For those who swayed
Upon the currents of dreams 
For the far-away travelers
Engulfed, by silent peril 

He rationed his words 
Through a labyrinth of verse 
Through the treacherous bends
Of careless chatter 

Inward he dove
Unfazed and quiet  
As the watchful hordes 
Simmered 
In desperate longing

Amidst the Sullen Drone of Slumber

Thoughts wheel forth
Trapped in relentless motion
Combing the sprawling flatlands
Of the quiet, barren night

Where inquiries blossom
Moment by moment
To set craniums afire
With the glittering shards of longing

They illuminate
The swerving, shadowy roads
In their timeless strive for insight

Until then
The mind journeys
Amidst the sullen drone of slumber
Carrying on vigilant
Defiantly, sifting and scouring
