Poem Title:
Poem
Passion in waves, intense they pummel Rolling me over & over & over. Crushed. Help me grow; Go on, depart, now - a head start With all this crap stuck in these spokes Might slow me down, but watch me folks I’ll turn it around Done it before, no big deal, I’m meant to heal. What I need, is to unload, unseal, reveal, do not conceal, This great upheaval. Out of commission On a mission - no more deadly killers of Souls n Spirits. Alone, I battle demons No one knows the much I’ve grown I unburden, all the hurtin’ from all those fears over the years. I still stand tall. Can you feel me - stuck in the middle This twisted riddle? Why keep the fight - which he delights Against the wall; I will not fall I still stand tall – won’t make me small! I try to smile, it’s congealed Been awhile, this longest mile. I need a break. Much more to take? Still crushing me; I cannot breathe I hafta leave, let go, forget Let’s hope I have at least one trick left up my sleeve. Oh pretty please! Been so long that same old song the love is gone. Too much pain. Strain. Drained. Oh God – don’t say, That in this bed I lay, I made I cannot stay, I don’t belong Here; no surprise, shoulda been more wise I’d have seen the signs, recognized the lies Hiding in plain sight Reaching out after all these years; Please empathize, cuz I’m so damn tired. Shedding all these tears, I'm running dry, And they continue To fall upon deaf ears; I cried, I screamed Wasted all those years. Will I fend, lend me a friend, a helping hand? Maybe take a stand around the bend, wanting to defend the true & just? This broken heart, won’t fall apart – a couple cracks, won’t hold me back. On the mend, I begin again. Oh no, you don’t Save me - that one’s on me Ill save myself & all I missed I'm not alone, never was. I'm not afraid; Can you, oh heart, love one again You know I can, you know I am. Made of Love – I rise above. Can’t keep me down. Oh, my heart, you’re so intense – right into shape you pop again; Back to life, my heart, so nice. It cannot be handled; They can’t grasp, don’t understand it. I sat, I pondered. Made me wonder- where's the one who's gonna grab it? Match it? Did we hafta dig outta the rubble we got stuck under, after our stumble? In eyes of fierce tornadoes we were put asunder? Our ancient, unaware selves .. It’s good, we learned We grew, from the burns. Well aware, we appreciate Won’t take for granted, won't waste a minute. A kiss, pure bliss, never wanna miss Every wish come true. No conditions, no repetitions, Goodbye. There’s only Now To give, not keep Down down we travel, we go so deep Haven’t lost at all, here I am, back again. Time to love, time to fly - t's do this friend, You & I Get on up, you know you can Reach! Jump! And Touch that Sky! Every word, worn like a cape, A great escape; you give me wings, Now I soar, I reach right in; oh my oh my Oh Soul, goosebumps Bowling me over, am I drunk? Better sober up, the dance ain’t over. Take my hand; I know you know You understand; ain't it just' grand - Make a stand & go for broke!
