Pastel and watercolor works of art
Cover the walls
Makes her think of waterfalls
Peaceful thoughts and memories,
Withdrawals the devil from her mind
Throws her off from the Devils lies
Creating a chapter of freedom
for her to sit in find

Once that chapter is unlocked
Glowing angels,
With perfect complexions
Flying sky high
Silver lighting and the most expensive wine
Sitting on the most extraordinary
Making heaven a sit in and dine
She'll find
thumb prints of pain where erased from her mind...
I want to cry
but I just sigh
I thought it was something
And now I see it was nothing
You were sweet, amazing in fact
And now I see it was all an act
Now your words hurt me
Actually, hurt me from the start
But I didn't want to tell you
Didn't want to break your heart
Now I see you just broke mine
I want to tell you everything I wanted to say
I do till this day..
I was once sorry
And now
Are you?

I cannot do this
With you.
I have nothing to run from.

You dream of escape.
A way out.
New, honeyscented beginning.

I like it here.
The bees all know
My name.

Words find their way.
Hearts speak through fingers.
Reading eyes are mirrored in
Ink systematically spilled in
The shape of sounds
And minds.

A pen resting on the table is a
Flatline.
A blank piece of paper merely
Dead, compressed wood.
Don't deny us your genius.
There is no try in poetry.
