***** a wall behind that wall
Stitch wires made of fear's thoughts
Strive for totally spiky prickles
Polish the cusps of the metal daily

The servants of fear have to be on patrol
Protecting the wall and the wire
Not one dab of audacity must be here
Banned to live in the land of the dabs

That's a new and sheltered existence
Encircled by eternally high walls of wire
I do love these walls prodigiously
Walls are the state of my origin

Although I'm from the garden of flowers
Where in spring the elderberries are fragrant
At night the cats make love there
Where mazes are made of wind

Inside of fear I am free and cheerful
To become more estranged from myself
***** more walls for more walls
Ensure me razor-sharp wire
Walls
you speak
soft words
onto my lips

I savor your
sweet nothings
warm and lovely
on the tongue

I gripped the sad movie-
a lonesome, desperate grip
begging that it falters
to provide me with pain
trigger my ever-breaking
everlasting schemes

Do I have to call it hunger
or call it desperate
is it wanting, exalting
or just a basic clique
is my wish of free falling
pitiful and bleak?

I try to summon tears
agony, or fear
pain? maybe glory
any- kind to feel
in this hollow-like pattern
it suffocated me

Would l be a poet, if you weren't the poem
There is always You behind every word

My thoughts and feelings are getting used to the idea of having you,
Stand before me dressed  in rhythm and sound
To the person that existed in the abstract

A great artist once told me
what is fluid, is poetry
it can be a shapeshifter
or a solid rock
has everchanging colors
or  just black and white
some tasted like honey
some, bourbon on the rocks
to tell a romantic story
to make the tragedy of love
does not dictate!
does not obsess,
it will not tell you what to be
it is of freedom
it is of fate
that some poets unlived
not due to death,
but due to faith,
the most chivalrous
-are here.
This great poet once built
the Dead Poets Society.
