*Use poetry as a window to your soul.*
I haven't felt myself; as of late...
Jupiter and Saturn rise in the east
There was a full moon just then...and rain...
Cold and dry. Stinging, the first of the season.
Magnificent colors kiss the ground, a hint of winter's touch in mornings and evenings
become shades of gray as Mother Earth goes through her going-to-sleep rituals-
I feel myself going through mine.
I seem out of my oun reach...
I walk half asleep... tossing and turning my nights away.
Praying to the God I believe in
my solace in lieu of slumber.
I fool myself, only making myself more restless. I try and talk myself to sleep...
Somehow brazen, new sunlight finds me...
del sol, the bastard, insisting I face all this again
shades of me lost in the rising-
I cast myself into this unwanted reality...
feeling tired... almost old.

Home
Back
~Something new and curiously uncertain,
Has stired.
The faint, almost unconcious whirl in my stomach,
Awakens my emotions...
I jump start my brain,
Thinking tons of little thoughts.
~I want nuthing more,
Than to go with this feeling.
To let myself breath easy...
In the face of fear, instilled...
By heart-breaks.
~I want myself to be taken wholy...
And admired,
I dare say loved.
~Patients graces my reality...
But my mind never stops...
My heart anxious
To feel something real
Again.
