Poem Title:
Poem
In your restless slumbers you feel me, I know you feel me. Always by your side like an iron rusted sword Dull to the touch and stranded to the length of your back. Your sudden sighs will be the ocean churning and The waves that collapse against the shore. Every ache you undergo will emit a moan So loud and locked away that even the sky will mourn And it’s rains will fall for you alone. Each dripping drop will attempt to match your insides From the moment the first moon beams hit your windowsill Till the sun ascends in an incandescent dawn That pinkens the walls of your chambers. You look beyond a naked field to A moon which eases with every passing moment. Beckoning you to dreams and thoughts that lay like scars and stains. Come, they whisper. Come listen to the symphony of our affairs. Come watch these green waters turn to gold. Travel the world and reach the end Only to find that you still want. But here, with no one around in this volatile room, With no eyes peering but the licks of lighted candles, You’ll plead no to a nameless fear As you swallow the back of your mind. Let an open mind in, Allow it to listen. And as you glance over to vacancy from Your worn and heated side, The skies will shudder with every hope and every lie That even Socrates cannot deny these tries. But in the half light of my own room I wish to be your broken record Or the lead singers private microphone. Kiss my finger tips and drink in the residue of fountain pens. I will plaster each phrase to my bedroom wall Where I live to see that the writing never flows. That each excerpt is choppy and final. That every quote is bold and blush. The frayed and shredded nursery wallpaper, Shimmering pink with sudden audacity, Will reflect moodily and ambiguously of my shattered thoughts. With kudos to a grandmother Mary, I slowly lift a frozen face from underneath a pillow. After a minute of self doubt and realization That settles like pin pricks on the palms of my hands, I slide the idle face back into it’s sheath Then contemplate the curiosity of my own slumber. While ignoring every hope of sleep, I’ll thread two nimble fingers through an open flame, Stare provokingly into the shadows on the ceiling, Get bored, Get lonely, And think of you.
