New Apartment

here where it is empty
I am alone,
my white-painted world.

I crave the solitude,
seeking to find the stillness
where my path becomes clear;

where I know all I have
is what I need,
the rest rich luxury

even you -
who quickened the pace
of my beaten heart
so much more than I deserved,
the greatest gift
in this blink of existence -

will be taken away
(before I'm ready)
by Fate someday.

Escape

In a constant rush
of harsh light and explosive sound
the world exists around me, 
demanding more than I have to give;

I seek escape
in the sanctuary of solitude,
though more often
I am choked by the loneliness -

driving me back into the chaos
desperate for something to hold on to,
to let me know
what I am is enough.
