#emotionalmetaphors
All my words are like acoustic strings; all of their emotions
black & white like piano keys. _It's love & pain intertwined_
My passions all leak at a metronome pace—then suddenly,
it feels like a nosebleed. _Being both beautiful & painful._
As I am an email for love, sent with all my attachments.
Like music, it gets all too tedious— as these aren’t poems,
not really— just signatures, kinships inked in flesh-toned
vaults, keen to sound like truth.
I'm vying in so many dry pastures, lost in this unsatisfied
fullness— an emptiness echoing into emptiness. Still, there’s
no shame in surrender; to put everything on the line—
hanging out in the sun. _To dry, wrinkle, & fade._
As my pride wasn’t just another persona, somewhere on
the clothesline. I’ve been worn thin by time; knocked down
by life with a clothesline. But still I rise, with my neck back
on the line. Destined to shine, but to you, dearest child…
these things take time.
