Scott Phillips Poet Lyric

Intention's Deafening Din

though your actions speak loudly, 
I can't hear a thing 
beneath the deafening din of your intentions.
If it's true of beauty, that it comes from within
then, it's that which you wager from holding it in.

confounded, I struggle to grasp how this happened 
to the heart that once made you feel love ever-lasting
the same one that made you ashamed for your actions,
then stifled regret
and placed blame in it's absence

Scott Phillips July 25, 2015 at 7:37 PM that is very kind of you! this poem came to me quite organically, where normally I spend hours or days working out the right ccombinations, this practically wrote itself! art is ALWAYS best when it comes that way- not contrived
