It's like dancing with
Timber,* she laughs.
I'm done trying.

Lower my branches, move
Away from the floor,
One root at the time.

Body built for lifting and
Fighting, not moving with
Any sorts of grace.

I'll shelter her nests, protect
Her from angry weather.
Stand solid as a green mountain,

Watching her dance;
Leaving acts of beauty to beings of
Beauty. Like flowers. Snow falling.

My woman.

I need to stop talking,
Before I

regret

anything else.
Sometimes I refuse to talk
Sometimes I can't shut up.

Another stupid 10 word.
Someone punch me.
there is nothing better than falling asleep thinking of you!!!!

       you
               secretly
                       wishing, for
                              your writes to be
                                noticed•simple sign
                             that they have not been
                          missed•with every view
                     and every like•your popu-
               larity does spike•somewhat
          places your art on the poetry
      map•between major players,     
  you close the gap•constantly      
checking to see  who's been              
reading•you're always deli-               
ghted to see the 'yellow                      
lightning'
•a wish...                            
    for those who                             
     are writ-                    
ing      

secretly hope not only for your words to be
reaching far and wide, but also... trending
* the above does not apply to everyone here.
There with in
my emotions like waves
calm and sweet
you looked at me
then you leaned in and kissed me
you said I love you
crashing the storm builds inside
clouds in the iris
rain pouring from eyelids
storm raging inside
chest heavy, leaving me breathless
because I love you too
but you cant have him
yes I can
your not worthy, your not
you don't know me so
*SHE CAN HAVE WHO SHE WANTS
