Composition

I seem to write and not compose, These songs lips and bodies are so fond of, Things ears listen to and without squinting... The heart can hear. But I write and not compose, So that everything becomes more difficult, To understand. And the ink drys but never stains the brain, With what I want to say... Or a point I wanted to get across. It's a price to say, Everything. When holding back, Will make them belt out... Or hold up the little flames and rise together. Yet, here I am writing and not composing. You can not dance to this. This is not a community. Only singular thought escapes a scene, To follow a thread, Down to the seam, To reach the hem. But I still just write, not compose
