Poems
Aug 2013
A Poem Is
A poem is a tangle of lines
A poem is a tangle of lives
intertwined
interconnected
A poem is a biography of emotion
A poem is what cannot be spoken
A poem is hearts secretly broken
A poem is falling in and out of love
A poem is taking a train just because
A Poem is a textual tease
going over the what if's and maybes
Its asking yourself what if time slowed down
Its wondering why you always start to drown
when things were just getting good
A poem is refusing yo talk about the weather
Its not not letting you avoid the elephant in the room
Its making you look into my eyes,
demanding the truth
