incomplete verses

Incomplete
         verses,
                 for my thoughts are a psychedelic swirl
                 which crumble like crayons on paper.
         letters,
                 for to find an answer to this riddle of us
                 is to gather silver in a pail from starry seas.
         sentences,
                 because the hapless paupers my words are
                 cannot give you all I want you to know.
         conversations
                 that hang in the void between us,
                 now tread on only by a taciturn silence.
         distance,
                 for it is littered with disjointed fragments
                 of incomplete letters, sentences and conversations.
