Description
A Deeper Shade Of ShallowA rogue am I...
I sedate the souls of five days as I dabble in the dark of thirst
I reveal the untold, the unheard, but never the unthought
As the gold flourishes from cage to gutter to possible dreams
Enjoyed though it oughtn't be: a perdition dousing its own flames
I am a vessel cornered into trivialities and questing for rhinestone
Craving more than an illusion but less than actual meaning
I submerge only to rise above me
Though this shines in its own right, I have a truer beacon still
Pursuing me, not in name nor in form, but in spirit
Casting breezes from up high, worth a thousand sentiments
Discreetly guiding me to what I am, to more than this
Her turtle shell eyes that like uncharted islands lie
In worried blue, sickly shed in this ship's wake
A wailing blaze embarks on sailing days
Traversing waters hued a deeper shade of shallow
A return, and a vow for the derelict to be derelict over time
Reflected by her acknowledging this deadlock of needs
To be where the glaring sky meets the churning oceans
In the throes of being absolved with a smile

Taken in a different context than what you've put it in,
the title and the whole is yet another reminder of a latching onto
that I go through as a kind of desired nostalgia
a lonely consolation given by others(more like seeing what I want to)
and that telling myself or "realizing" as much(above) is no consolation.
I can't really say I enjoy reading this, but it is very beautiful...
if that's not a horribly egotistical thing to say(?).
