Is breath spirit like my yoga teacher says? So if I hold my breath, am I containing myself? If I extinguish my breath, am I free?

Chasing my breath  

 

Purposelessness ***ts poetic bruise

Darkness deadens the illusion you choose

Red rushes and flushes and falls to her knees

Veins full of empty, who will you please? 

 

When what you paid, wasn’t worth the cost

And what you found, is always lost 

Nothing to No one, and less than that too

Drown in the ocean, and never see You 

 

Sinking, unblinking, chasing my breath 

Tighter and lighter, celebrating my death 

If only the ending was as easy to write 

As the stories of demons, I chase through the night

 

Starry night nuzzles into my neck

s it in two and raises the wreck

Snatches my dying and breathes wings from my pen

Dead Poet’s glory burns again. And again.

We are all only free within the confines that nature and existence determined for us long before we were born. So the exhaled breath must be replaced by another inhalation of containment before it too is released into the ether. And everyone is worth something to someone even if they don’t know it.

Hmmm, I understand, I mean nothing to no one was a line my unrequited soulmate once coined and so I revisit I’d from time to time in prose. I mean if I were being positive, the use of a double negative could be full of possibility. 
 

sorry I was woken by r2d2 and really need to go back to sleep ...

Your own words are more evocative than that. But being positive is as good a place to start as any other.
