I shall come to you!

When at a loss for inspiration,
I look at your names, your destinations,
Then I need a traffic cop at a roundabout,
To sort out the new poem-babies
Being born simultaneously!

My arms beg me to
Enrapture you,
But constraints of time and place,
The mundane curse, money,
Rivers that seem to be too wide to ford,
Leaves me but one solution,

I shall come to you.
In any way I can!


I shall perforce,
come to you
For I cannot wait
To fall upn thy neck
And whisper
Blessings upon us all!

Find me a windmill needs tilting,
Bring me jars of ink and oil,
Do what I can with my saber small,
My pen, the strongest weapon I posses,

But is my voice, that I will bring,
First and foremost.

My strongest tool,
For I cannot wait
To fall upon thy neck
And whisper
Blessings upon us all!
For she who knows that this one,
Is for her, and her alone!
The weak will follow
when they can't succeed.
Their thoughts are hollow,
so the strong will lead.
Decisions are made
and loyalty will break.
The truth will fade
and friends become fake.
This is one of the first poems I've ever written, and it was for an 11th grade English assignment comparing Julius Caesar and Brutus. I used this piece as my attention getter in the intro.  I feel as though it can be applied in some of the most complex and the simplest of situations.

I want to rest.

I want to be Earth-
my skin, loose soil,
yellow button dandelions
pushing through
the dirt in my chest,
as puddles fill my outstretched hands
while my hair twists into the roots of trees;
and the wind picks up
to scatters pieces of me
side by side
the dandelion seeds.
Catch me.
I gave you everything,
Then I forgot to take it back
When I left.
