Community poem
Every day I reveal I give a little more something special, so real to life a different side of life those pieces of me no one can steal every night I'm where it takes me to where I find that part of me that needs no excuses nothing to change nothing to add to But what if it isn't the truth? What if I am a product of fear? When I look at my keyboard, I remember things I cannot say aloud. That is the darkness. nothing to subtract the fairy of all things sharp and dangerous. a day in the sun a light That casts no shadow, Pushing through all darkness To reveal the only truth a smackeral here, a smidgen there i stitch into the weave as my truth as i can bare, leaving me naked and bereft but as a milliner of words so fine I stitch together a tapestry of twine upon a silken bed of shadow the words, they matter on the morrow Twisted threads of golden thought weaves crimson tears that taught the one that orates as they weave leaves a pattern that can't deceive cleft, my palette of words, sacred, alone but not forsaken- created, awakened and tasted and i stop for a while to taste the silence between words the echoes of my steps roaming inside a dream Chinese boxes with corners that domino like the seals of envelopes, they stick to sticky seals of words, telling of straw earth. sinkhole, the word frightened me as a child even now I tread lightly allaying the inevitable i tread lightly, lightly... allaying the inevitable babble of... "lustful gushing of wordlove that cascades from my brain enervated, regenerated obligated to explain the gears and cogs of this clockwork world write....again and again the never ending refrain oh listen to the silence listen between the words from the death of one breath; to the birth of the next
