Forge a line upon the vein of everything alive
A ceiling for the blood to touch when you are in your mind
The walls are four, foundation gone, and yet your structure stands
Even though you hold it now with shaking bluish hands
Commit to this and you will see that as the seconds pass
The marble stone you once possessed no longer stays in tact
And as the remnants dissipate they mix with flesh and bone
To resurrect the paradigm that you can be your own
thoughts that you have kept
surround your heart, instill regret
you can beat yourself to death
I wonder why the people here have planted all these
trees
With roots so deep inside their heads, grown in through
memories
The branches form a canopy, a place for light to
rest
In dormancy procure a way to lay upon your
chest
Forgotten words once kept within will open up your
core
And so release a perfect tongue not spoken

He
was a construction worker,
always smelled like outside,
sawdust, fresh air.

I
used to love to hug him
right after work
so I could just
smell him.

His hands
would dwarf my head
as he reached down
to hug me to him.

He would punch you
and it would feel
as though his hand
had gone entirely
through you.

He was a big man,
worked hard all day.

He
had arms
like small trees

It's only you,
my dearest, my darkest;
it's only your
soft voice I hear
in the small hours.

These lilac bushes breathe
your name and the soil listens,
remembering everything.

It's only a whisper
of rose oil and
amber, of silk and
skin.

Just a whisper.

It's only you
in the small hours.
dear don’t you see?
the more things you unpack
the harder it is to leave.

you’ve left behind so many things
i can’t possibly begin to clean

you flow through my viens
you’re the oxygen i breathe.
how will these dry bones carry me
if  you decide to leave?
im trying so hard to
remember what
it
feels like
to still be in love

im trying so hard to
remember the
times
when you
smiled and laughed

and im trying much too hard
to forget the times you
cried and i did not
comfort you
or care to comfort you
or the times when you said
"i love you"
and i replied with an
indifferent
"i know"

but most of all
im trying oh so hard to
fall back in love with you
Pinch. Crackle-burn. Crack.
Creep-catch. Fire:Wind, who know
you two were good friends.

Missing you dad

Finding my dad in the shadows on my wall,
Why he accept so fast god’s call,
You always been my inspiration,
You always act like my protected wall.

Am finding you in my empty spaces,
Trying fetching your expressions on others faces,
Discovering you in our use to places.

Walking with no hopes on lonely road,
You’re gone, and am living alone,
Bearing the intrinsic pain with no cure.

Now what god wants?
That is clear.
The pain for you,
That is real.
How I’ll live without you,
That is my fear.

Missing the air of blessing from you,
Learning your steps with a radical view,
Am at your place for work that’s true,

The decisions without you are all Paradoxical,
Your annihilation made my life neutral,
The game of aim getting almost crumbled.

Now gazzing your picture on the wall,
Reminds me your soft hand and my first crawl,
You always act like a shield for all my wrong fall.

At last what can I say?
Don’t worry dad,
I know your wife is alone,
But she is my mother,
No weeping no grief in the future,
We all miss you love you.
lonely memory love emotions

Dear
Walls
 May 2013 Sean Winslow
Dear
Brick by brick I built walls in front of my face
Hiding the expanse of the landscape
A taunting haunt when there's boundaries I cannot break
Oh life was laid out
A railroad of systematic plans
And I'd still be looking back the day I ran off that cliff
So I dug deep to find some element of surprise
I found gold I found silver
And gemstones one of a kind
But none of that matched what I needed in my eyes
After a while I'd peer through broken mortar
Conspire harsh realities beyond my border
Uncovered from the shadow I built for my better
Oh I'd suffer as long as I could run
My back to the wall
My eyes to the Sun
I'll be sore for serendipity
If it means I am freed from the nefarious fate of society
Follow me and we'll live as aboriginees
