I couldn't think of a name for this poem
just like you can't think of what to say
when you ask if I'm ok
and I respond **no

You sit patiently
            in the back of my mind;
A cold and barren place,
            but safe
      from the monsters I made.
....the thoughts that bled through to Saturday morning

Jawad
Broken in pieces like thin branches for wood fire;
Worn out like a cloth fifty years old;
A trunk invaded by termites,
Rolling down a hill full of rocks;
A carpet walked over with ***** shoes,
Covering the floor of a once busy hallway,
Now abandoned and invaded by mold;
The paleness of a ruin one thousand years old,
Submerged in a thick sea of fog;
The rust on an old broken truck,
Mixed with dust to form an adhesive substance,
Eating the metal through to its core;

Combine this all together,
And imagine it's a feeling.
That's how I am feeling right now...

I wish it would
well rain harder
I wish that
the sky water would be salty
like my tears.
this way both could slide down my face unidentifiable
I wish the thunder was louder
just to help save me from my thoughts

I love how
well simply how
I'm walking to the beat,
crunching gravel to meet the sound
of my favorite song
even though it's no longer playing
I love that
the rain is blurring my vision
eventhough I couldn't see anyway
I love that with every step
I'm taking a shower
the rain provides me with good cleansing
I'm slowly scrubbing away every
remark, laugh, judge, scar and stain
and as my jeans, blouse, and shoes get wet,
I'm washing away some of this too
hidden deep within the seams

and yet some people wonder
why
why does she like the rain
well
It's not just rain
it's a friend
that I can talk to and actually leave with
a cleansed soul.

Earth eyes,
Green like the land
I want to travel,
Explore,
Discover

Fire hair
Red, orange
I want to feel you
Though I know
I will burn

Air trapped
Deep in my lungs
Have you noticed
I can't breath
when we touch

Water in your veins
Rich and pure,
I want to jump in
And forget
How to swim
