(DIAPHANOUS)

This is that part of me
I’m not afraid to expose
A glimpse of my nakedness
A composition I compose

Freely I share regrettable mistakes
Lapse in judgment, slaps in the face
Rather you identify Or quickly deny
These are issues and battles of life.

Creativity comes in darkness
As well as in light
Fear not the lack of morals
As the Poets take to flight...

She would not answer
Her cell phone
I told myself It didn't matter
In my mind she was there
With another man
Leaving my voice all but gone
My heart beating in unrest
How did I let her
Get this far inside my head?

When I was a little boy
I fell for a young girl so promiscuous

She taught me a thing or two
I thought to be ridiculous

Looking back I clench my fist
It seems I was so **** naïve

I’ve never met a girl since then
   So open and eager to please...

And these bottom lines
I so vaguely define
Full of missing spaces
Vanished in time
Perhaps too much of me
On these pages to bear
My ink pen desperately
Pleading for air
Still my heart
Revisits despair

And where is the empathy
You said was missing
After a cold hard look
At my dispositions
Shall we still pretend
That a heart can truly mend
I'd love to embrace
Such a beautiful end

For my falsehood
I'd surely atone
But these unfinished poems
Get written in Rome...

Echoes of the past
Mixed with new memories
We are only here for a little while

Weather on the way
More work than play
Until, that is...
The Spirit start's to smile
...

I remember the cage
Soul slipping
Through cracks
Body trapped
In silent rage
I succeed
These facts
Never forget
Never get back
The less you say
The less they know
So spare the lecture
And off you go
I remember the cage!

By a breach of trust
A now lost soul
You can't get back
What the Devil stole

I long to right
The wrongs of time
To be forgiven
For my worst crime

Yet for every moment
Every memory stained
No matter how apologetic
The blemish remains

Forgiven but not forgotten
The injured heart still grieves
No matter how long you spend
  Down on your knees...
