These Closed Blinds

He/Me/I
Am searching
For the right words
By candlelight and
Monitor's glow
and by the filtered
daylight
in this ever darkened room.

Searching
For an elusive feeling
somewhere
Beneath the clutter and
The noise
Beyond the din of fears
And insecurities and
hopes
gone astray.

Searching
For an answer
Or maybe just a hint
Seeking
That tattered scrap of
A clue
That will explain how
To be me
And
Love you
And move on.

I doubt
That I'll ever find them
Those answers to your love
Or my need
But I'll keep looking
Searching
In the flame
And the phospher
And the dim
Winter sunlight
leaking
Through these closed blinds.
