(2013)
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
I would write a sweet poem and title it with your name if I loved you at all
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
I grew up in a house built in 1937 long before codes and regulations and sometimes
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
I feel empty unceasingly until you come along and fill my heart to bursting
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
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back
If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Just when I get back on my feet you pass on by and I lose my footing Again
I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
