In misting steps I gather
In quiet there is sown
In mounting quakes I wither
And evil lies below

Write My Poetry
Fear of failure I’m close to giving up
Untethered froM reality
The vowels they compound and we—
I’m lost when I’ve fallen into you
Authenticity,
Your electricity
You enrage and enlighten me
Frightening prospects and the sound of your name
Risking a cliche I’m too afraid to say it casts lightning
All the same.
Drunk on my inhibitions,
These admissions,
They’d never let me in.
My ticket was stamped for yesterday and there is no way to see the show, now.
Did I mention feeling exposed? Yes.
Surviving on instinct,
I’m sure I’m meant to act this way, why not?
Who can ever tell, anyway, between what’s real,
What is blocked.
Configurations.
I’ll wait for the circus to come to town
Write to me then, when the madness comes back around
I’ve been a little disjointed lately, and I’m sure this reflects that. Doesn’t that suck? When you feel like you’ve got a grip on yourself and your brain goes “hahahaha nope. You’ve gotta do it again.”? Oh well. It’s fiiiine! It’s fine. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Lover’s Descent
Orpheus, I’ve often wondered, why did you look if you knew your love was behind you?
But time and distance, silence and pain are enemies of love.
You feared she was gone.
I understand now. That longing, burning sensation of loss. You won’t know if you’ve made it until you see the light, or turn around and watch your life taken away.
Small mistakes tumbling down and piling up
Unfortunate lies soon discovered bury us under their once insignificant weight
Where were we living that we were so free?
What ever gave us the idea of exception from pain?
A child’s naivety
A Romantic heart
We’re torn apart
I do miss you.
I forgot to post yesterday! That’s my April Fool’s prank, I suppose. This is one from a couple months ago
Rainfall Reminiscence
I remembered today how long its been
Since I have lived without a friend
That simple act, those secret talks
Midnight brandy hour, risky walks
Frogs and birds outside my window,
Their songs harp melodies which never change
And by their singing, every night, I’m brought back to that place again
The time in which I grew to know
Within the dark, how far I’d go
Living among early dew, stars above and moon askew,
I’d always find my way back to you.
Whispered Things
I’m afraid my heart is closing up
I’m afraid the love I gave was never enough
I’m afraid of Time
Of the lines it furrows deep between, under, outside my eyes
I fear the timidness lurking inside, a meek spirit waiting to take over any liquid fire slipping passed my lips
I’ve felt it entangle me, encouraging every doubt, stroking each insecurity.
A russet hound, sickly and old
Begrudgingly, I allow these feelings to take hold
Scarcely aware of the inequities.
Sciamachy
Walking down to school today—I hear one of those demons calling my name
Vapors whisper through my head
Sweetly they croon, wishing me dead
Daring me, they challenge, say, “what’s left to keep you here this way?”
Knees buckle, I start to roam,
Thoughts race to every sickness I’ve ever known
Family ties, promises muddled, every tear fallen to the floor, puddled.
But when before I’d give into these secret fears,
Something stands within me, up out of the years.
Banishing this curse, this plight.
Worries that keep me up at night
They will never become me. I will never give in.
I can still hear them whisper, “just let me win”
But bloodlines are a fickle thing
I’ll put an end to this suffering.
Raise the chalice to my lips
I will not drink from it.
