How do you?
How Do You?
By Maureen Ucles
How do you?
Get over
time
waiting endlessly
in the lines, lines, lines
Giving it all
Blood, sweat and tears
wearing it on the sleeve
Now just wiped away
into oblivion
Endless weeks, days, years
minutes, seconds, moments
kept inside
held captive
blown out of the water
it's a total blur
no warning
no will
no way
to contain
the emotions
that I feel
brought out
in this feeble attempt
trying to make
some kinda
sense
in this poem
that I strive
to compose
How do you?
Can you?
even attempt
seeing those moments
memories
flash by
interrupted
with a senseless thud
stealing my heart
mind and soul
bleeding interminably
internally
feeling woozy
loss of
spirit and excess blood
life
leave it all on the court
everything is spent
nothing remains
the void is so, so, so
palpable
surreal
envelopes me
gasping and labored breath
final moments
to let go and yet
to behold
the beauty
that once was
now lost
forgotten
Why? Why? Why?
Always comes to mind
around the bend
when I
in the least
attend
in a stupor of sorts
out of my racing, confused mind
I belabor the point
can't seem to let go
Shot out of nowhere
Whoa!
Too much to take in
all at once
or in pieces
if you will
I feel
so scattered
like ashes
thrown over the bow
never to meet
again
