Fission

Ribbed gap of mine
Heart hah, pure stein

A smile that shines
Maybe even blinds

And then none can see
What's beneath the glee

Unanswered goes the why
Not even I 

Can decrypt this 
Absence of bliss

So break clean
And restart after a sheen

Expecting a change
Fool's errand of the strange

None can understand
Nor can they stand

The burden I bear
Escapes the deepest stare

The tear and wear
Of the patchwork unfair

Lying in a bind
Ribbed gap of mine

Eidolon

The night brings words
Those caress and haunt
Devoid of rest, full of taunt
The Sandman deterred

Them words light a bulb
Their letters lego-ing up
Swallow 'em up in a gulp
Literary hookup of a schmuck

The bright of the dawn
Arranges up the letters
Fawning on the spawn
In stanzas and verses 

One last proofread
Before we exceed
All flair put bare
Through this nightly affair
