I'm afraid.
of the nights when you sleepwalk

afraid
of your days spent eyes wide shut

my peace
swats your rage as it flies the room

my peace
is the only thing that can penetrate

through to your guilt

to the commotion you started

downstairs; the blame game
plays out survival of the fittest

to the sound track of slaps

Half of what I say is meaningless; but I say it so that the other half may reach you. Kahlil Gibran

This is dazzling. It reads clean, but with such rhythm...and the last line echos.

Can it be I stayed away too long?/
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?/
It's not my thing trying to get back/
But this time let me tell you where I'm at-- Jackson Five

subtle delite read

very different regarding subject matter or content, but this... this was poignant w/o saying much. and, the ending couplet + one liner is what truly makes the poem...
