you may lead a bear with salmon
but you cannot take him home
do not lay beside a wild thing
and expect to remain warm

you've let the demons in
but you know that's not
where they really live
give your mind some time
to find a line
for those demons
to go stand behind
because your talent and heart
hold too much to waste
and to allow the hands
of defeat
to cup your face
means you've awarded
the opposition with first place
when actually
you've already won the race

all I'd ever hear
is the same old chatter
not a pinch outside this redundant realm
of what is programmed into your cerebellum
how are you even remotely entertained?
by the same plain, tame conversation
day after week after month after year
so young but still I fear
to live a life that has been already
I need more
see I exist solely to reflect all light
no 9-5, no thought of a house-wife
with so many others fulfilling the norm
means a greater space is left to chart the unknown

nature to nurture
under these fluorescents
I grow thirsty
the carpet rubs my soles
the wrong way
the sun craves to look
into my eyes today
in my most pure & honest state
love is all I choose to intake
each and every inhale
I will not waste

while the rest of us
would **** for a scratch

the roots from which
I'd like to grow
no longer reliant on stunted malnourishment
nor the flick
of a tongue that spits
lie after lie
consumption as a vice
will **** you
self sabotage
is not welcome
in the space you crave
to call home

what seems so soft
can hit you heavy if you let it
and only through the unknown
will you freeze in its immensity
it, balanced
while you, unsteady
remain open
not hollow, but empty
allow space
to exist without you
within you

to the cemetery
let me feel what's been coddled
by you
while chewing on this atmosphere
i tend to ask what is real
far too often than i believe is beneficial
the glass is never as sweet
as my lips portray it to be
i'll kiss yours in times of want
and need
and now
divert from boredom and bottled
liquor
not needed
i'll lay down in between
the bed and notion of what runs through your head

within the spirits of
each soul warming,
love spilling being
in the form
of the only creature who could bring about
such pure ecstasy and terror
woman
is the land encompassing
her
each one pulsing with the waves
and crumbling with the pressure
we are these mountains
we find pathless pleasures
and canopied tremors
enticing all others
through winding woods and hidden beauty
unmatched in our power
our wild existence
this magic aligned with
the space between two limbs
to bear your first breath

speak to me
in ways no person could comprehend
these stark frozen caps stippled with pine
read my mind better
than any love has tried to
these elevations reach me
on a greater level than most
dare to dream of
these steep hills rise within me
as real as any emotion felt
these unharmed mountain pathways
heal my unarmed heart
these hushed yet
ever present winds
whisper harshly but never
attempt to sway the hermit
one way or another
