Of warmth and dampened wills to halt, an aqueous "what-if"

So long, a song so soft among
The faintest, quaintest, briefest lapse
Of wishes, misses, air-borne kisses
Alone to wake from sweet mishaps

Upon an aging, yellowed page the echos of before
Around, abound, the stencil stage; like silence, less is more--
Its destination sunk by hope and freedom far from shores
Determination worn, eloped with seconds lost to lore.

Behind the words unsteady wrist
From fragile-feather glassheart spills
The fervent, folorn winds and mist
Of dreams beyond the windowsils:

" (This is not a cry for help
...gave up on that long before
If you're reading this--

Don't come to my rescue.)
Please, please

Anyone...

Give me
[a way out]

~"From thence dispensed the simple sense,
Come hither, thither thou doth wither,
And while the smiles shalt cost sixpence,
A stranded isle shivers, tense.."
