Summer air and drenched leaves The sharpness of the spines teeth The wind gliding through my soul This simple life, such truth it holds Enclosed in the light that shines through Is the ties to the past prughβs
Emptiness in the eyes of the viewer He now lackβs the creativity of the grauer The withering spine of the leaves Are now wounds of the deceased As the red infects the roots He sits at the trunk thinking of the older tune The song is no remembrance The chords are a mere semblance
Her hands let go, her fingers careened away He believed she might stay For little time was the due Maybe he hoped too much from the douwe The dove fluttering by Coots his eyes to be lies
To be god's fool The one he sent out to ramble of helpless needs And bite his omen in exchange for blissful deeds I will promise what you say holds truth Unless you say, I love you For when I say your name The red string is only my proclaim
Let this world be greedy Oh god, make us bleed Make the artist the muse So even they can feel the love Maybe the poet can hear his words So he can read his melody We are too starved to express So much the world feels less With this abyss of art The world can seem so large
Do I say these needs to be my own? Or do I ponder what was once shown? Where the starving woman dances With the wind she can only see Like the wind has immortalized her spine Dashing and jumping in dime The colors she deems so colorful Even though her love is not pliable
Why do you not see the beauty of the world Is thou not human, not born? Even a worm will turn When the rose is not returned I will die from this heartbreak, and this curiosity This vessel in my chest, will burst from the velocity I will give and ponder my old addiction And caprice what was once love
With my bones that she touched so deeply I sacrifice and create What would normally cremate May this obsession eat me alive And make my heart palpable I doubt from all the smoke That I may even be edible
A poem about obsession and expression of that tie. Complexion of love, loss, and the creative process. It reflects on the struggle of the artist to express deep emotions and the pain that comes from unreciprocated love.
