I bleed Poetry

I bleed poetry to heal through 
midnight confessions. 
Mistress’s ink does not seek 
your caramelized validation; 
it has no desire to please 
your feed of presumed perfection.

I’ve never tamed this 
skill as an online profession; 
this is just an unbreakable obsession~
I’m drowning in for a distraction.

Don’t question my 
hazy metaphors,
veiled away from towering 
thorns of introspection, 
too vague and meaningless 
for the skies adorned 
with sleeping stars. 
These scribbles of sentimental 
symbolism may cause 
digressing reactions, 
for I’ve been sewing a 
waltzing nightmare,
whilst counting syllables 
within concocted connotations, 
surfing through wicked 
schemes of sunset-colored 
sestinas to sunflower sonnets.

Now I knit hyacinth haikus 
in honeysuckle hues, 
woven from pristine petals 
amidst wilting wilderness, 
awaiting twilight that 
would awaken words written 
in repetitive refrains, 
reigniting the flames 
between spaces on fragrant pages, 
so dreams will no longer 
be more peaceful 
than the air I breathe. 

Although these lines
do not rhyme with teal-green 
tides that sketch 
turquoise beginnings, 
I still hope time can maybe 
guide this canvas home.
