I'll keep you only in my thoughts and poetry.
A word of you will not leave my lips but only through my fingertips.
For you are better to stay where you are
deep inside my strings of vocables and empty speech bubbles.
There won't be a trace of you to find,
with the exception of my mind and the words I'm unable to hide.
No one needs to know that you are mostly what occupies my attention,
you'll be my secret and I'll pray to be your revelation.
I'll fill my day dreams with your defeat of fear and discovery of me.
No one will see you heedlessly stealing away my sanity.
The simple mention of you, invades and makes its home like a bittersweet infestation.
I can't find away around you, I have to remember to ration.
Yet on the outside no one can tell that my head is oozing through the seams
For I have perfectly locked you away in verses and memories.

Spring.
The Trees.
Green, with everlasting beauty.
They hold the very life we breath.
The sound of their rustling leaves, apaisant.
They stretch up to the sky, reaching high.
The most free of all their kind, éclatant.
They leave behind the most peaceful state of mind.

Winter.
The Snow.
It arrives from thin air, blocking out the blue of the sky, étouffer.
Lightly landing on the leaves of our Trees.
Softly singing what seems to be a lullaby, vouloir amadouer.
In truth they **** away the soul.
Frozen and dry, it takes its toll.
Bearing the weight of their sworn enemy, the Trees pray for an extremity.
Another year ends with agony, the Snow glittering with all its glory.

You keep me waiting like cookies cooling on a tray.
How can I make you see that you're the one for me?
Don't you know how exhausting confusion can be?
I beg you to either come to shore or sail away.
Just don't keep the ship another moment at bay.

My picture of you is covered in dust,
No matter how hard I try I can't scratch off the rust.
I peer into your smiling eyes and wonder why?
Why this picture is all I have left of you?
Why is there nothing that I can do?
To sew us back together so I can forget these broken threads.
Nothing I can do,
To clear the aching fog in my head.
Nothing I can do,
To remember you clearly in my memory.
Because I'm looking right at you, yet still you are blurry.
I grab and grasp for the slightest pigment,
Praying for fulfillment,
Hoping that you aren't just a fabricated image.
Nevertheless you fade, my doubts invade, whispering softly, they say,
"Maybe a dream, is what you're better off to stay."

I can understand the cooling breeze through leaves of threes
But you are my one unsolved mystery
The one person who continues to baffle me

I can understand my darkest of dreams
and all the colored threads holding together my seems.
But no matter the guesses and questions I head
I will always have this need

For answers to the paradox that continues to increase with uncertainty
I'm busting with wonder and doomed curiosity.
Honey, stop leaving me hanging,
Take me by the hand and tell me where we stand.
Help me solve the mystery that keeps on going.

I go where the road takes me
Every twist and turn hopefully less traveled by
Each corner a new surprise.

I am how the wind has carved me
Eroded well beyond weary
Corroded, yet to be discovered, simply a theory

I am how God has made me
Internal and un-telling, amicable and compelling
Deranged and day dreaming, troubled yet never dwelling

I will let life turn me
Into the the woman I'm yet to be
Into a person my future can admire,
Someone those I've left behind can aspire
to remember with a smile
I want to always be worthwhile.

I am so many things I never dreamed I would be.
I see in ways I didn't know I could see.
Reforming the old into the new to keep from rusting.
Decomposing, yet regenerating, constantly readjusting.

There is no telling what's next
For I am the product of "Cause and Effect"
Honestly, describing me in a phrase
Isn't the easiest of ways,
But to say at the least,

I am simply Becoming.

Silly you.
You walk around without a clue.
Or maybe this is your game,
your never ending play by play, day after day.
There aren't enough words that do you justice,
Egotistical. Ignorant. Unrighteous.
You cry and you beg, you don't know why your life's mess.
You feel betrayed, used, second best.
You don't want help, you want pity.
But you made your bed, honey, prepare to lie in it
You push away those who care, you push away those that make you scared
to be yourself or the person you might find deep within
I see right through you, this you've come to know,
So now you've pushed to far, I hope you know, how to go it alone.
A little bit of a venting poem.
