Aware

It must be a wednesday
or a friday
or any day at all
for I am painfully aware of the world
that consumes me
But the aware
are few and far between
As for the rest
they may be aware of the day of the week
but not much more

There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
Admire #2

I see words screaming for attention etched in the lines of your face Let me look closer
Admire #1

I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face

Writers Block

Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
Gently

I hope this is postmarked before my death certificate is dat… but you’ll know why if it is or if it isn’t If you get this in time
For You

You asked what I knew about you and I thought up a list of twenty things
Icarus

You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
 1
Silence

I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
Feeling

So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
