The Invisible

Some days I would rather the invisible

The unseen

The background

Underground

Foundational type

Role

Conflicted. Progress. Process.

Conflicted

twisted

contorted

and bent

at odds

odds are

you and me

would never be we

and i’m at odds

with wanting it

so

would you love me tomorrow?

if i wasn’t exactly what you thought of me

or what you thought I’d be

would you still love me?

she swallows

her  pride

her will

her heart

she swallows

hard

his power

swallowing steel

Trying to forget you
While you stand in front of me
Being the you
You are
Is like swallowing steel
In the presence of a strong magnet

You’r(e) hurt

I hate to see you hurting

But you won’t share your pain

I stand here umbrella in hand

As you shiver in the rain

You won’t let me walk with you

Won’t let me hold your hand

You keep falling and keep tripping

And won’t let me help you stand

You’re there within barricaded

Screaming to be free

As I stand here waiting

But you won’t let me see

Chin Up Soldier

The expectations weigh heavy

Knees buckle

As inner demons chuckle

Telling you lies
And covering your eyes

To the incredible potential of you

Hell in Paradise

The bark of guns
Fade into the background
So part of the dark outside
That silence
Scares the tough shell courage
From his adolescent body

Spring Showers

Shower me with your kisses
Soft like
Soft lips
I’ll be gentle in return.
Bury my face,
Take refuge
In the crook of your arm.
Giggle.
“I am listening!”

How soon is the soon you’ll let me sleep?
If that really is your intention.
You’ve tricked me here.
I don’t mind.
You rain down gently
You count down the time.
“4 more mins”
4 more …
Till the next time you ask
For more.

Let me listen to the symphony
Beating in your chest for a while
Let me just rest for a while
There’s a lot to process
“I’ll be good”
Is taking too many meanings
I don’t know what your meaning
You’re showering me with kisses
What’s the blooming idea?
