- How Does a Writer Let Go -

with plenty of pain
i seem to be comfortable
weeping in silence,
but the tumbleweeds
sway in the mist of spring,
and
i pray for a way to redeem
mother nature’s embrace;
for she believes in what i need to long for

willows weep for the loss
of their blades, 
chestnut tears leave stains 
on barren branches,
and here i am left alone in 
a forest too green to see;
flashes of lightning scour
my deliverance, 
for i am but a nonetheless
notion,
full of the kind of resentment satirical apparitions face

i crave bright smiles with
shiny white teeth-
ivory as strong as steel so
i can swallow the sore
syllables my lips have spoken
manic metaphors with a 
caticalysm of undying rhyme; enough rhyme to ease my soul

for I am but a writer,
                           hungry for a way to let go
