how do you take down palisades
of mistrust and hurt and agony?
ear piercing cries;
of misplaced love and jealousy?
how do you forget mem'ries
of love and life and happiness
snapped out shut;
like a blinking bliss?
how can you, how can i
forget the metaphors i have carved?
out of you and words and tales
that's known by heart?

how do you take down palisades

how do you forget mem'ries
of love and life and happiness
snapped out shut;
like a blinking bliss?
how can you, how can i
forget the metaphors i have carved?
out of you and words and tales
that's known by heart?
i'm quite happy that i'm back in writing poems.
