Words

Never before
World ignored
An honest reward 
Thats been solidly deserved
Have you read this book before?
Im the ingnorent source
I feel lost and sore 
As if my feeling have been outsourced
Between the here and the never more
My defiant mind
Leaves lines hard to find
With in this twisted plot
Lost inside a much deeper thought
War that must be fought
Though I fear at the end
We will find only rot 
Incomplete sentence
but all the intensity
one can handle, doctors orders
take one at a time
water may help to swallow
this rhyme
goes like a lame venom
soggy smooth
leaving you with frostbit lining
rust crusted, flame touched, hard felt,
torched tipped adrenalin rush.
I have a felt tipped sole
and I feel as though somethings 
wrenching my intenstin,
caroding my dreams
lost new findings of my famous failure
seems my words fall into a category 
to be defined as caroded comprehension
built and thrived on empty ambitions
though force fed lines
taught by the sole
read by the mind 
brought to these hands
so you might find 
some type of understanding,
under lining this torture of mine.
left to the basics 
how would you fill in the blanks?
could you redefine this rhyme?
my mind boggles, and rips and tares,
to find a tear to cry
wouldn't it be easier
if i'd just talk
She says she can't understand
it's as though 
there's too many words just floating
I don't speak in word
I speak in verse
so I feel Im left drowing in my floating words.
praying hoping someone finds relief in me
I write on
words
