I write like I am your underwater
There in awe of not being
No longer of earth
Once fully submerged
I see but cannot breathe a word
About anyone but myself in secret
And then suddenly my words run dry
Bursting forth into sandy existence
And I'm out
All at once, it just ends. And I'm never sure how it even began or when I started to swim in the first place. Odd.

I am not a poet   - so much
As my poetry.             Is me
                 And these words
                   Are just   letters.    Living                
              Are just a construct
Of mine  - in mind -   being
Little abstraction

i believe in
wrong places
and wrong people
but never wrong timing

you are never too early
or too late
for all the lessons and beauty
meant for you

A heavy night
Caves in my chest
Collapses me like underground sound

And in falling this
Echo feels no duress
But a resounding weight profound compounds

Like crushed earth I am
In the morning noise

I don’t bleed for you
Burn or in weeping fall like rain
With closed eyes or with headwinds sway
But like stars glistening
With night sky coldly watching
I am reminded
And think of you often
In a bright minded sort of way
Such a feeling. So felt. LOL self.

It's perfectly fine to feel emotionally tired...sometimes even the heart needs a break...don't be too ******* yourself...just breathe and try to relax.

If the tides of hatred ever crashed, over my heart with such ferocity, that I cannot swim or dry off their lasting affects therein. Then I will quit this concrete race to the death, and die on my own terms further within. Though my only friend be this inland wind. Somewhere there where the spray of a freshwater fray, is more friendly to me than a million duplicitous greetings beside. And so away from the edge of the earth I fly.
I would. If such were me.
