in the void

i can't find myself, lost in the page
i can't find myself in the words, can't find myself
not even in the spaces between letters
nor in the eternity separating each sound

i've lost myself in the right angles on the page
in the line that starts and has an end;
the sounds of the keyboard create their own universe,
a dimension beyond these thoughts

i'm lost in a thought that has no end
and whose start can be felt in a silence,
in the trembling of a pause of an endless sentence

i've lost myself. and even the compass points to a void
the movements of silence amidst the sounds of memory,
the undercurrent of an alphabet made up of time
that only exists in the stillness between heartbeats.

lost in words

I’m sad because of your sadness Dwelling in faraway lands; Sadness growing in your heart, Your eyes lost in distant waters. Pondering, your wandering heart Its lights never casting a shadow; Waves and waves of burning fires Release your essence to the winds. I feel sadness, yet I’m not sad; Absent the sense of your presence That accompanies my loneliness Far into unknown places. I lost myself in my words— The ones casting my road; I’m too lost in the dreams That weave a labyrinth before me.
