Grief may lament, such verse I will serve tonight
Words dwell in heart, poetry in my nerve tonight

Who knows how to bear, the night of separation
I won't ask any wish, prayers shall reserve tonight

Beloved flew below my eyes like the smoke
An hour of silence, separation to observe tonight

A pile of Letters in Grief, restless on window sill
Each word to recall, Each letter to preserve tonight
Grieved verses can make even grief to cry.

Pulling a Rip Van Winkle seems appealing,
Though my time it would be stealing
Keeping me from dealing
With all of this feeling
That leaves me reeling.
But like an onion, I need pealing
To accomplish inner healing
Revealing rather than concealing
I find myself kneeling while congealing
My past I am repealing
Fumbletongue Oct 2017
Yearning for burning

A kind of returning

Unlearning learning

To fix my own kerning

Churning adjourning

My rebirth I'm earning

When they’re up and thriving
They’re beautiful, bringing life to the area

The second they fall
They’re worth nothing, a nuisance **** to a wet shoe

Clean, fresh, pink- called the prettiest things
Get stained, damaged- ugly, ruined, awful

Fluttering in a sunlit breeze- the perfect picture
Thrashing in a raging storm- disgusting, stupid

Funny how things change
Never funny why

I will lean
But I will not fall
I will listen
But I will not call
I will speak
But I will not seek
I will observe
But I will not peek
Salvage my mind
Or
Prove me wrong
But I will not fight
I will not plunge into an unknown battle
I rather sit back and watch
For, on this ground, I hear bones rattle
Keep lying with your feeble smile
I know your cunning tricks
Just wait for a little while
Till they remove those plastered bricks
I will utter
But I will not shout
You will know why, soon
Coz, fingerprints are everywhere!

There is an innocence about it
A sensation which slightly glows
And illuminates, the half of it
But does not act out of cluelessness
Or carelessness

No, it's a state of care free thoughtfulness
In which this kind of being exists

It hates the plow
It hates the system
It simply is
It simply lives

It connects itself to many things
And many people
With a genuine and expressive tone
And an innate sweetness inside of it

And when this sensation sleeps
The small corners of the world as they are
In one way or another
Are at peace

And when I am near
It is the same as when I am not
Behaving with steadfastness

And as it listens quietly
It puts me at ease
As I see it now, for what it is, in its innocence

And when given the opportunity to speak
I care for it
And yet, I cannot understand it's simplicity

In sight
It is a twist of hair in the seamless breeze
How it wavers without want or will

It simply is
A mess, yet controlled
And always in its own way, and by its own will

Deep water can be cold and treacherous
But shallow water can break, be seen and is warm
I love the water, but not like this
And not to submerge
That's not for me

Though these purveyors of sensation are incredibly
Unimaginably sweet
Little fragments of the past... Are embedded in my mind like pieces of glass. But not all of them are bad. Some of them are meant to last.

the lilies they bloom at your feet
hear them sway to the wind
they care of no coming doom
here the finches they sing and play
bend your bough and they build
your seeds they will carry afar
the wise old rock
he gruntles and moves gently
you are here to observe
tell your story and let him be
you are just here
