shades of you

Adam Jensen

falling through endless colors,
heeding every soundless voice
my waking wish to see another...
drowning desire to only have a choice

you're there, you're gone

a caged bird sings

thrown into a maze of wormholes
my thoughts—

what are they?

—blur with shades of green

brilliant shades of unwanted treachery
confused, fuddled— what?

down another thread I sail,
soaking up beauty and filth
wanting to rip and tear at this dream,

this vivid prison—

I fight for control of my mind's eye

there you are. standing, beckoning to—

—what?

I fight, I reach, you blur, I fall...
but not down, only

into the green

where I feel warm,

vulnerable, and profoundly loved

through the web's fog, a whisper:

is it peace I find in these shades of green,

or is it you?
