Unknown

the nights are now colder
than this sudden november chill
that runs the length of my soul
reminding my body it’s one day older
the bitter wind of uncertainty
sweeps down from the hills
that once pretended to be mountains
in the days of my now spent glory

no known's
known unknowns
no things known
to be unknown

so i crept along in the infancy of my desire slowly learning how to grasp the rungs of destruction
and the day came that i would run headlong into lust with the intrepid step of teenage indestructibility
unaware the treasure was nothing more than cleverly disguised kryptonite
now my feeble steps of demented self righteousness make crooked marks in the winter cover of my life
i can’t help myself-
the need to feel the deadly stone in my hands once more outweighs the need for me to keep on living

no known's
known unknowns
no things known
to be unknown

the nights are now colder
than this sudden november chill
