The wild mind’s brave paths
Overgrown with lianas
Rough terrain for sloths
I have so much creative potential…
still, I waste a lot of time, doing absolutely nothing.
I don't know what it is,
or why I feel this way.
I yearned for love for so long,
yet nothing worked out.
But maybe, just maybe,
we can make it work together.
Not just from our love for each other,
but from our pain too.
Heavy tears break free
Breaking the mirror of the sea
The full moonlight on her face
Makes her shine in the darkened space

She kneels down upon a stone
Alone, while i whisper in a tone
But how can she hear these words
Without a breeze to stir the birds?

A storm without gusts of wind
Thunder without lightning, pinned
Creates unrest from the outside
But it's inside, where the storms collide

Like a sower of the dead
He brings cold and scatters dread
Sowing it over her fiery heart
Quenching it and tearing her apart

For a heart without fire
Will never thaw the frozen mire
An altered version of a poem that i wrote in dutch ("Doof Vuur").
in dutch, "doof(deaf)" can also mean "extinguish".
i love double entendres!
Someday,
I'd like to,
Write,
A poem where,
Every,
Line is written,
By,
A different poet.
I think it'd be a cool thing to try out. Let me know if you guys are interested.
If you would like to participate, write up a line for the poem and email it to me at hardisonabbott@gmail.com. Make sure to include your name or pen name in the email that way I can credit you. I will arrange the lines in a way that makes sense to read.
Thanks guys.
Name of the poem is pending if you guys have ideas let me know, please forward this to anyone who you'd think would be interested, I want to make this a real thing.
I think I fall in love too easily,
Maybe that's why people keep leaving me.
I have a whole box of herbal tea,
That I bought after she left me by our favorite tree.
It's still my favorite tree.
BFF
Why? Why?
I’ve got my-
Got my mind open.
Still, I’m guarded,
Redefined,
No heart showing.
No more.

Why? Why?
If this was love for you
What made me flee?
our heart fell apart,
crumbled to dust-
Over your friend.

Why? Why?
That girl-
Your BFF’s a liar,
Got me looking over shoulders,
Patting down for wires.
Milky brown gaze,
Its warmth soothing-
But doubt’s shadow,
Creeping close.


Why? Why?
Know what’s right, you.
Know I’m right.
Here.

With my mind open.

made the beast slumber, to write
its apology
