Uninterpreted fears
Are a creaky door
Can’t be left half open
Or you're unable to pass through
Use the window

Turn to me
Look me in the eyes
Now turn around
What do you see
Not the rich, rolling grass
Nor the speckled stone
But the feeling
Like the tender nervousness of a first kiss
Or an embrace from a new friend
What is this feeling?
I cant make you feel it
It starts in your chest
Then works its way out
Your eyes warm
Then your limbs get fuzzy
This thing that we do
Pretending we cant see it
Look around you
You must only but glance
Its being alive that I see
Look for it next time

damp, weary feet
being ****** off at the sun
a heaviness around my neck
the draft as the descent is made
a growing growl
slick to the touch metal
jostling
wanting to be with someone
self consciousness
turning corners like i know
slowing down once the last one is behind me
sitting down
patience
losing once
twice
more patience
looking around
and now backwards

Dad?
Why do we argue
Why do we fight
I'm a man now
I know you don't like it and I know it hurts you
But I'm a man now
You used to be like me
A man then
Not too rebellious
Not entirely foolish
Conflict isn't condemnation
I'm a man now

We dance in the ashes like
Literary scavengers.
In the ruins and after rages
We draw the shreds of words and pages
Around our naked bodies like Blankets,
A quilt of the quintessential struggle
Which all people suffer

There seems to be no hope for these lines
As I read them I drift away
I just want to sleep
These people, with their false woe
Their sappy loneliness bleeds off my screen
I can feel it
Melancholy
So rich is the ink
That one cant seem to breathe
But what we can find
Is the slippery confines
That are minds

Nothing is as it seems
Not the sky
Not the trees
Everything is alive
Colors
Shapes
Sounds
The very means of writing
Inspiration is derived from asperity

It is in verse as is in dress
That beauty hides and needs caressed
Though true beauty only some possess
We look around and see less and less
Peer deep inside ones heart and chest
There must be beauty in all this mess

Crisp as the new day dawns
Tumbling
Seemingly over hills
Intertwined
The sweet nectar
Of love
******* tumult
Dripping
Eager to please
And be pleased

Fresh in my mind
Cast
So much to do before I die
Preparations
The howling doubt
Littered sins
Vain requests
How can one do so
Clenching fingers
Out of reach
Out of sight
Out
