LIKE A TONGUE TWISTER TRYING TO GET OUT
MY MIND WORDS BECOMES STUCK INSIDE A LATE NIGHT SAGA. THE PLACE WHERE ALL WORDS ARE IN A MISMATCH AND WRITING IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHERE EYES ARE FIGHTING SLEEP TO STAY GLUED TO A POETRY SITE THAT DRAWS ME IN LIKE BEES SWEET SONGS TO HONEY. I THINK ITS TIME TO GO TO BED.
A silly ditty when its past my bed time.

Chronicle these breaths.
And lay them naked
on paper - for the world
to see and judge,
like you know you should.

Dissect them...
With the sharpness
of your scalpel-like thoughts,
like you always would.

Fall in love with them.
Tag them with unspoken words
all too familiar.
Then cast them unto me...
When you finally know you could.

Cut me loose

     from these strings

          that bind.


So I might again

     exercise the freedom

          of mind.


.
My heart and mind
Need peace and quiet.

Complete silence.
Stillness.

You throw rock after rock
In my pond
And muddy up the water.

All the while
Wondering why you're still not
Seeing clearly.
