Dawn's Heart
 Oct 2020 Acora

She had a clear wind sheltered loveliness,
Like pale streams winding,
Through fair green hills withdrawn.
Dawn,
Was her lifting fancy,
but her heart was cherry blossoms
the color of quietness,
And shade in the afternoon.

when i was a child
my father never checked the closet
i never asked him too
i knew what was hiding there
the secrecy and the skeletons i lay to rest
i kept it shut tightly
locked and sealed
like my mouth
never open long enough
for anyone to know what was going on inside
not even a locksmith could pry open
my closet doors

nivek
the chainsaw prepped
waiting for sunlight
the same Sun
that fed the willows
the willows
that need decapitation.

to be clever
to make god laugh

and tell me I
never thought

of that

but making
you laugh

is enough
for now

I am like the Earth.
I mold easily
so that you may enjoy the fruits of my soil
and live upon my flaking surface.
But my love,
you are killing me with all you take
and the little in which
you are willing to give
so that we both may live.
An excerpt from a journal entry on 9/23/2020. In the title "LIKE THE" are presented in all uppercase while "earth" is presented in lowercase accentuating how we continuously place value on the wrong things (or words) in life. Enjoy.

lord
i am a lonely candle
with
my flame
burning in the wind
look at me lord
look deep inside my heart
please
look at me again
lord
look at me
in
the springtime
look at all of
the
songbirds with wings
now
look at me within
surly
i feel your
frosty wind
