Inside Out
Not in vein
the thinker stands
Wearing the inward upon open sleeves
red and blues trickle down from the mind
upon a white plastered mold
Standing in the large room of what could be
the heart pumping to truly express what one believes
more than a notion truth always relevant in a poetic ocean
Perfect love perfect speech preaching
yet I stand in the waters up to my neck
overtly where what once was a beach
Hostilities smothered yet perfectly free
as I slowly surrender to the waves
I will not relent untill the statue is covered
better to wash up than never been wet
