College grad trying to find where to go from here. PeasantPoet™
The mind cracks in half, Spreads thick Like egg yolks On granite Viscose Slow Moving Enveloping - Bursting - Here fears, here doubts And there, there the yearnings Eyes splinter - Flutter like butterflies In flight, Greet dawn And there - hunger strikes, The eagerness To feast on skin, To lap at the salty brine Of your humanness, A need for thighs Gripping At my jaw line The moon tucks herself away Behind light, And sky meets day And I, Pavlov’s dog - Salivating Alone in bed

The lines have been written, The poems Etched into air, The weight of body Held By the gravity of silence - What remains In the hollow Of the uproot? Where does The dust of embers Linger? Will green flourish Amongst The scorching of land?

A couple of missed texts -
Our nada who art in nada, Vivid in the minds Of so called believers, I've built this small life Off the toil of these ragged hands And the pain Of a crooked spine Yet I'm told You're the one To thank Blessings Blessings But I've never asked Blessings Belittling this work I've done

Prayer poem at 25
i am beast, hunter, flesh starved all men prey all for prey roll tongue around taste sweat, savor the oils, sink teeth, bite spread thighs wide wide wide carve the hollow sink in like home

WORK IN PROGRESS - FEEDBACK APPRECIATED!! ;) ---—-------------------------------------------- On nights when the moon Sheds herself of pretense She speaks, Reaches in, Spins out thoughts Like yarn, unraveling Shows me what I keep What should never be spoken Shows me what I dream What should never be seen And I can almost feel The cool touch of metal, The warm after- blaze Against my temple, Of a ****** barrel Giving birth to a silencing roar - Pushing through Emptying mind, Thoughts splattered, An abstract on my walls, The things I keep Dripping Crimson In her light.

Midnight
in the middle of my days, in the most random mundane times, i find myself deep in thoughts of you my mind, a portrait of us my heart, a garden where i tend to our roots i am cautious not to snip at the buds just let them grow and grow and grow

to love
i will never be as great as the greats so i find solace in their words etch them in my bones to know them and i feign artistry for the sake of ego

Mimic
You offer up your lips, Pour them over me, Like libation, And whisper a silent prayer Across mine, And I Bathe in their glory. How honored I am To know The chapped, raw flesh -   Oh how blessed To know their taste.

III. I'll dig back to you, Reap you, snip the synapses, Hollow out the soil.
