"portrudes" poems
I often sit here and run my hands over the smooth shard of glass
that portrudes from my chest.
I feel it. Everyday. Everynight.
and wonder if someday i could yank it loose.
feel the pinch no more;
The pain of my heart as it warbles, trying to survive; cut in half.
I know i must keep one eye on the horizon, for hope ill see that day approach
If i look down, I know through this glass ill see you,
all that can be seen,
struck through my being,
and my chin will fall,
and my breath will shallow,
and my heart will
stop.
for you, in my head,
live
and all i feel,
all
is you

The sailor looks upon the horizon
Seeing a beautiful isle
Waves the crew to dock
Heading for the shore
As he reaches his destination
He sees sweet fruits
Tall trees and shade
And long elegant beaches
The sailor looks out
Back at the sea
Remembers his sense of love
But pushes it down with another drink
After time
The sailor cannot take it
And as nobody else shall leave
He takes a boat and makes way
Weeks later in the open ocean
Weak and dying, hungry and thirsty
He closes his eyes
Then a smile portrudes
