Unfinished Poems:

::

Discourse in darkness
Breathing in the light
I’m broken, open
Feeling high
And without neither here nor I
I’m falling down for you
And in a moment when you call me
I will feel forever small
Until you kiss me, miss me
I’m awake in you beside my eyes
Strange decisions have become my point of view
Don’t deny the place you’re going
I don’t know the way you’ll take
Put my arms around your shoulders
Break my open-ended sight
With the color of your voice now
Killing all my inner doubt
Words are straying from their maker
It’s a novice, self-built, shout



::

I'm possessed by a feeling
Both constant and fleeting
Like echoes repeating
My words in your voice

It's beauty in stages
Heroes of all ages
Patterns and pages
A song in the wind

When laughter is healing
Submission appealing
Exhaling revealing
You're closer to home



::

It's late but still I'm waiting
Self image renovating
A glimpse of life unfolding
This race with time I'm holding

Their voices paint me stories
Mid-sentence half-life glories
I'll take their laughter with me
A chorus for my memory



::

What I'm doing I'm unaware
There are empty fillings, alone I'm scared
My flames are dying, the wind is cold
In metaphors my soul is sold


::

Make reason for all that you feel
Make time stop and things disappear
Don’t be afraid of tears or built up fears
Dig deep and find out why you hold it back
Find out why there’s room to hide



::

I’ll shape these words
Into something complete
Something I’ll remember
Something you’ll keep

But still I’m rhyming
Strapped into timing
Wish I had the gift of gab
