My Low Heart is Encrypted in Gold

Your Love is my Pen

I take your speech and write it Bold

You lay over there trying to Learn

Why I feel so glad that I am Sad

Speechless

Like red flags in your Cold War

But I am locked in a War Room

I am still down here Dreaming

My mirror talks back to me Am I Dreaming?

I lay awake all night

Sad as rain in Summer

staring at the light

trying to find your gate

I find you staring profusely

dreaming in breathing out

you have pushed me to the wall

Oops they say I am psychic

but all I have within me is fantastic

but my tears fill up your room

God help me get this through

You asked me
If what makes me happy and sad.
I just laughed
Because you'll never know that
It's always been you.


You.

I'll push people away
and then say I'm lonely,
I'll say I have no friends
and then call us all squaddies
-
Running from the fire I tended to,
I'll leap into your arms
Though I know you'll burn me to the ground
and then you'll raise the alarms
-
I'll accuse you of being mysterious
While building up my own walls
I'll try to break yours down
And collect the bricks before they fall
-
I'll make my own misery
I'll burn my own boats,
Then complain about not
being able to stay afloat
-
Alienated in my own body
Lost in my own soul
Foreign in my own head,
Down a perpetual rabbit hole
Paradoxes don't sit well with me, and yet I create them for myself.

At times the little we crave
is too much
*& at times the much
is really too little
Ignatius Hosiana May 2016
I really lack what to write
guess something isn't right
yet I hate it when I can't
more I can't,the more I want
I'm scratching my congested mind
where there's nothing concrete to find
I don't mind trying and trying
albeit frustrated I feel like crying

thus wondering when I became a freak
whom inadequate verbal emotion makes weak
for if there was a tree with leaves of creativity
I would own a forest with a thick canopy*
poetry fills the gaps that vacuum my heart
a tin where I keep sealed my dirt and hurt

I think in waves. Waves of artificial emotions, deep desires,  run-of-the-mill repressed urges. I believe turmoil is the closest thing I have to joining someone in a receptive-giving relationship. Thunderstorms and tornados and every other body of the worst weather run within me. It pleads with the mind to over analyze any sort of life vest. Most of the time what I think is not what I hear or see or feel or touch or taste, these inner workings have a soul of its own. My chest is caving in, falling into its own pool of blood. A strong base will never compare to the weak beams inside each column.

Their love created a paradox
Like Schrondiger's cat of uncertainty
Great in theory, but not in practice

Unspoken words reverberates like the Doppler effect
A product of her own creation with undesirable outcome
****** if she do and ****** if she doesn't
