Unless you mean it
Don't touch my skin
Unless you mean it
Don't draw me in

Don't reach your hand out
to push me down
Ignore me as I shout
And watch me drown

Stare as my fire burns
Laughing at the stars
For what my heart yearns
Escapes me from afar

Unless you love me
Don't touch my skin
Unless you mean it
Don't draw me in

Choking on dust
As I breath in the night
Do what you must
Push me in the light

I've felt the darkness
Creeping down my spine
Unable to express
How brightly you shine

But unless you want me
Don't touch my skin
Unless you mean it
I can't let you in

An overgrown pathway she takes,
A smile plastered on her face, so fake.
Deeper down does detail disquieting doubt.
As she stumbles and searches for a sign of the way out.

Entwined in thorns she now becomes,
As the overgrown pathway, the night succumbs.
Hovering hornets the only sound,
Pretending to enjoy the escapade, how profound.

A shattering noise halts her stride,
But the tranquil look stays in place, what pride.
How foolish a girl to continue on,
How foolish a girl to act as though nothing is wrong.

There in the air, it hung, muted yet palpable,
like the  inebriating scent of new rain on earth
with this signal morning alluded something,
as if challenging anyone there to swiftly respond.

Gazing at the far away mountains, waking up,
pulling away slowly the blanket of darkness
a purple sun above making a symphony of colors
she is caught in the waves of the mood, it's cadence
captures the spirit in a poem; it blooms on it's own.

Zestfully she reads it in her resounding voice,as if
to the chickens clucking around in the cluttered barn
there wasn't any audience other than the birds and the cattle;
a sudden change the chickens,strange, till the moment before
they were looking for a worm or two in the black earth.

As if forgotten all other things the chicken stood
their head held high, beaks open as if to peck
in an attentive posture, they stood listening to her,
the moment they got the tune right,started reciting it.

The cows in the shed  turned to the direction of her voice,
as if it's a song, and it's for them she was singing .

Something you cannot yet trust
Let me crawl underneath your skin
Resurface all your scars
Begin to mend what you would call your flaws

If I could tell you what I wanted to say
But I am much too afraid
Unsure if you'd throw me to the wind and tell me don't come back again
If I could tell you what I wanted to say

Covered in your wounds I cry deep inside
You're too beautiful to hide behind your lies
You light up the room but cannot recall
That you have a heart behind all your walls

If I could tell you what I wanted to say
But I am much too afraid
Unsure if you'd throw me to the wind and tell me don't come back again
If I could tell you what I wanted to say

If I could tell you what I wanted to say
No matter how much you hate yourself and me
If I could tell you what I wanted to say

But I never will no
I never will no
And I never do no
No I never will no

If I could tell you what I wanted to say
But I am much too afraid
Unsure if you'd throw me to the wind and tell me don't come back again
If I could tell you what I wanted to say

•i've depleted my font,
my creative well•for each
day passed, with a story to tell
•staining white and barren land-
scapes•by sculpting my words into
myriad shapes•from factory fumes to
a wedding ring•an ominous tombstone
to a flash of lightning•an hourglass to track
elapsing time•the untold story behind a loved

                   nursery rhyme•            |  
                   with this i conc-             |  
                lude my 30 day run          o  
•it's been quite a stretch but
all in good fun•rest assured that
more will come when the time is
right•for now i'll turn off my
bedside lamp and bid
you all a goodnight•
