We are the unsung poets
who toil in day for the harvests
then write at night as the wick burns
in the dark slips of our meek turns

We are the unseen poets
who invisibly raise armours
swing pens as the dark evades the light
a strip to the core of the soul,our right

We are the trampled heroes
whose halos are out-shined by thunder
and tongues tied to a word twisted silence
Our heavenly seduction of a naked dance

I am the unsung poet
inspired by love and rhythm of life
transpired by the ounce of human experience
My eternal contract that only makes sense
It speaks deep to the heart
Tenderly to the soul
Tells of the many wonders
You'd love to know

In it's single mission
Spreading of truth
But what good is a love poem
If it wasn't written for you

As it tears at your heart
Swipes at your tears
Bringing to the surface
Emotions you haven't felt now for years

Telling you things
You only wish that you knew
But what good is a love poem
If it wasn't written for you

With the tightening of chest
The shortness of breath
The shedding of light
On what you could only guess

The tug on your heart strings
That won't leave you alone
But if it's not written to you
What good's a love poem
the life I had
the one unmade
by knots of love
bound and gagged
for all my failings
take the blame
there is no mending
hearts estranged

layers sloughed
to make for new
leave behind
what I can't use
in forgiveness
find recourse
release the tether
of remorse
If I
Had to jump off
of the grand canyon to
prove to you that I love you true
then this I would do but,
That would leave you
Alone
on the verge of wilderness
imminent silence*

welcome
the sun stroking
peaks aglow
the thundering falls
mist-kissed rain
the solitude
so rarely reached
too often breached

stillness loosen
untamed words
in the native tongue
before thoughts
unspoken
became yours
mine
ours

to the wild
bear these
cryptic symbols
scrawled on
my halved heart
tokens of longing
succor
for the lost
The pretty girls know
Why they wear their perfume
The pretty girls know
Why they fill a room
The pretty girls know why
They wear their hair
The pretty girls know why
So men will stare
The pretty girls know why
They wear that smile
The pretty girls know why
With it such aplomb
The pretty girls know
How to wear a hat
The pretty girls know why
They do this and that
The pretty girls know

This time
I'm right here
Awaiting but
Praying

I long to know heaven

Isn't it lovely
When pervy men
Pop up in your DM box
And try to make you feel
That you are a failure

Hmm
Someone's pen
Is thicker than his ****
