A Modern Form

No frames of Arts
No articulation of the tongue to fight
Words
low enough to skip
the storm

Sing the silence

A circular dream that does not want to be woken up

Words plugged into their stammer
worries stack up without pause
Like something drilling.


I stare into the fire.
I close my eyes. That makes a dark line mine.

The finger beats the guitar without strings.

An hour to think.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
