"magnetises" poems
I'm a rainstorm
A monsoon
A hurricane
An avalanche
An earthquake
Lava erupting from the innards of a mountain
A meteor crashing to earth
which implodes from the epicenter
spewing remnants into the void
from its wake
That dark place
where no one can reach
until your voice
out of the darkness
the eternal silence
reaches forth
stretches out and magnetises
all of the elements
left stranded
pulls them back together
into a mass
that resembles the whole
that was there before
that once existed
This new world formed
my world
new and unexplored
made of me
made of you

I'm drawing inspiration from the negative,
my attention biases towards certain phrases,
they leap out to me and I thought by now they'd be the ones to represent happiness and hope;
But still internal unrest is at the forefront,
And I still feel incongurance.
Because to relate to the positive I may as well take a syringe to a dry sponge,
I draw nothing but air,
but I guess at least im drawing now and that's progress.
But there's only so many times I can ventilate the same air without questioning,
why my head magnetises certain stimuli in a world so far from bare?
I can't explain, but to use optimism, hope, love and success as my muse feels unnatural, it's strained,
l am unworthy of it.
I let my mouth take the lead,
bypass my brain so I write how I feel, it flows without me.
And maybe its a Fruedian slip in the form of a sentence,
but im scared if I slip too far i'll drown and in my sponge I will suffocate.
So I speak without thinking let my brain take the stage and im back,
back circling the same topics again,
maybe in life I repress them and this is their escape I just dont know.
Because when I write about my excitement for the future or how I dont want to leave your arms or how you personify comfort I feel obnoxious,
I feel niave
What is it about me that feels so uncomfortable,
so exposed,
so vulnerable,
to say i'm happy?

The power of your wild beauty
Shocks and magnetises me
I exis in silent awe
That love I feel is breaking law
