We have a vision, you and I of living free shaping the world we want crafting it with our minds  You’re a master creator  with quirks and peculiar perspectives  I’m a clever collector  of memoriesand trinkets of experience We’re riotous in our encouragement ‘do it,’ I purr ‘try it,’ you whisper push a little more into who you arereject the status quo We have aContinueContinue reading “Crafty”

Words

Where have all my words gone?  Did you take them when you left and took flight –  packed up in your witty conversation  along with days kissing naked in bed? I’m unable to write our poetry the emotions were stolen that night –  there’s no use in scripting old promises that will no longer be cherished or read The words, they’veContinueContinue reading “Words”

Self-rejection

Original image found here Self-rejection sounds like the great name for a poem, but my own self-doubt won’t even permit me to pen a few awkward lines. I lock a chain on my words even before they have a chance to form in my mind, trek down my arm and through my fingers. I’m annoyed atContinueContinue reading “Self-rejection”

Down

Shut it down Shut it down, shut it off. Removing one small page of poetry is of no importance nor any loss. No one will know and no one will care. To pretend any of it matters really isn’t fair. I am consumed by disgust for my own creativity and clumsy words. When I readContinueContinue reading “Down”
