(2014)
I awoke in the dark next to you and more alone than ever I was amazed to hear your heart beating from
If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
The road is long and winding like nothing you can imagine Too many off ramps to count but too few in hindsight
Autumn sneaks in preceding dormancy Leaves take on new beauty with nothing left in them but a fa… Individually insignificant
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
I say hello and you say nothing You may hear me you may even think of a response
I was like a rain cloud over a small garden and dammit if you weren’t that garden so full of flowers that I fell in love
I awoke from a deep sleep and knew the reason was to write I love you
Everyday brings a new death in three words give or take Some days I drown
Life is an uphill struggle Nothing comes easy and only hard work pays off I don’t like hard work was my 5 word protest
I have whispered your name into the air so many times it has become the breeze that blows
You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
I wrote this while thinking of you so I guess you could say this poem is eight years in the making
