How do you know me?
Why do you look at me, with recognition in your eyes?
You speak to me
When you have nothing to say
You listen to me
With words I haven’t spoken
You touch my skin
With your ghostly fingers
You light my soul
With sadness in me
Why me?
Why do you look at me, with recognition in your eyes?
How do you know me, when you have never been alive...?

*Choose
words wisely
for the ink of life
is permanent.

If you listen carefully enough you can hear her voice break as her words smash off the rocks of her insecurities.

If you were broken, and i had the parts to fix you
i would work on you both night and day
but, i'm afraid the parts that i use would mix you
and take the best parts of you away
You only need your heart broken once
To be able to create a lifetime of poetry

The title will not come
But the words flow fast
Stanzas breeze by
Poems progress
Short stories
Are written
As if I’m possessed
Prodigious outpouring
As if I am being chased by death
But the perfect unifying theme
Does not present itself
The art will not find its name
The work is left untitled
But it is finished all the same
There is hope and heaven on the other side of never
Where rain falls like a chandelier with fairy tale endeavor
Where green rolling hills offer up rainbows and marshmallow clouds
And everyone there enjoys feeling under the weather
I struggle finding titles for my poems, I always write them last, often years later, if at all. To me, emphasising one theme, at the expense of others, can make poems appear a little top heavy. Does anyone else share this view? Is there a skill here that I haven't yet mastered? Would you suggest a different title for this poem?
