(2014)
I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
It must be a wednesday or a friday or any day at all for I am painfully aware of the wo… that consumes me
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
