G - Hello Poetry

G Jan 2020

My thought cannot be confined
to a selection of rhymes
and lines
can it?

Gestures

With sweaty palms
Placed firmly down
I told you that I loved you

Zero words
Only gestures
I'll always be alone

With lively chats
Inside myself
I told you that I meant it

Merely sounds
Only gestures
I'll always be alone

I meant the things I did not say
just wanted you to know it

Rows

On rows and rows they hang they hang.
Skin stretched thin on their necks.
A tranquil gasp for one last breath.
The wall a collective shadow of silhouettes. Oxymoron. Escaping death whilst escping life. Completely innocent, unaware, yes painfully clear.

Schadenfreude

hums and haws
"totally get it!"

basic blurbs
clothed in Schadenfreude

Autumnal hope

There are promises
where the trees throw sorrows in the air
that change - come October

Literal things
bursting to flames - to ashes
- to words on my paper

Ransom (whatever it takes)

Pay me ransom
to release my fears
and let them go

You

I've got blisters on my fingers
from trying to write you out of this song

I literally do.
