In Loving Memory Rickie Lee Hawthorne
(2014)
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
Everyday I lived out a song written just for you But you could
There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze
The pen must be mightier than the sword For there is nothing that will spill your guts faster than a bit of ink that says
Passion doesn’t arise from 12 point Times New Roman but rather from ink on one page and another
I get my silence in five minute doses before the plane overhead brings me back to earth
I thought I could drink you away but I had to stop being so drunk on you first
So much time passes without feeling a single thing that I think I would give anything
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
Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
There is a girl and I love her and I have loved her since the beg… Or so it seems to me as I only became conscious
I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
I’ve kept my eyes closed most of these past eighteen years because I find it just as dark
To put it simply each beat of your heart is a gift that I receive with the anticipation of a child at christmas
