Stifling sentences from mind to pen to paper
Blundering from word to word
Forcing friend and foe to collaborate to hold together,
hand in hand a story to be told
But sometimes that art, those wells, grow old
So I dig and I dig for a fountain to come forth
And with it the words with which to refresh both mind and soul
A laborious task, too large to ask
Of one who isn't entirely mad
But no need for worry because I am that
I'll find the fountain of words.
Elusive, exclusive, entirely too much
A passionate flow, a particular touch
Extensively existing in the minds of those persisting
To indulge in the sweet words that flow from mind to pen to paper
To taste and sample the selected assortment
Fastidiously arranged as if awaiting atonement
Expressions from the fountain I've found it.

i hate this house


everything in it.
get me out of here
Cordelius Dec 2014
I try to write about you all the time
but
when i take out my pen it feels like
my bones are made of lead
the words all make crystal clear sense
in my head
but
when pen meets paper,
there is no way to illustrate the
l o v e, the
f r u s t r a t i o n, the
a w e, that comes from talking to you
the way we talk feels like we are so close
yet there is a thousand mile deep crevasse
keeping us apart.
three hours and twenty four minutes
three hours
and
twenty four minutes
two hundred and six miles
in between us
and
somehow I keep you within
arms reach all the time
never letting you slip through my fingers
like the sand at the beach when we met
for the very first time
I will not let you slip

slip           slip
      away

you were patient and forgiving
you believed in me when nobody did
you stayed faithful and I did too
you trusted me more than I did
you saved me from myself
I owe my life to you
I changed for you
I am in love with you

sometimes I get sad
it's just a fact of life
nobody can be happy all the time
when I'm sad and we aren't talking
there's nothing that can make me feel better except for you
Cordelius Jan 2014
I hate how you think of yourself as less than everyone else.
everyone has different strengths and weaknesses
and you have to learn to accept it for what it is. you have to work with what God gave you.

it's been quite a long while,
but I still feel as if we have just started this beautiful relationship.
I think about how long we will be together
and hope that forever will be the answer.
