Beautiful Ruins

wakeful, 
I dream about things 
I dare not live 
How alluring they are, 
lighting up the dark labyrinths 
of my mind, 
yet not once have my bones 
been willing, 
these bones have conspired 
with my detractors, 
who are ever satisfied 
with my mediocre life, 
they are uncanny with their 
beguiling smiles 
they make me comfortable 
in the embrace of my ruins 
they pretend to condole with me 
when I am sailing through storms 
it hurts them, sometimes, 
when I emerge from a my Hurricanes 
battered and bruised, but still intact 
and we smile the usual smile, 
and take an oath once again 
to destroy me right 
before I am complete 
strangely, I enjoy it too
