Compassion
Thunder in the belly
Air in the throat
Maddness
tell you i have ventured in your head
know the jumble of your thoughts
Wouldn’t you believe i saw you walking by
Quiet footsteps
Concerning
Chastisement
Left me lone
To hold my head
Grit my teeth
Facing down fears
Quick never to judge
I couldn’t get too far
Thankfully
I know what little I have felt
Enough
In these days of scorpion tales
Beheaded mantis
Dancing monkeys
Ripped sympathy sticks
Cold in the night
Chill and cool water pouring from clouds
I stare at them
everything
So as not to miss what is coveted
You and Me
We are what I no longer know
It is in the mess
I would rather look at the clouds
Than fix what only one will confess
I have bared myself for you
Shut my mouth
Ignored the cry of my ego
Wanting to save itsself
Looking for a savior, me
And you forgot me
You didn’t even know me
You couldn’t have
Still the ego cries
Save my name
And I wouldn’t
I won’t
I would rather look at the clouds
And bare my heart
Pull back the shoulders to get a better look
The heart cries out
I am open
all the mistakes in the world
Will be forgiven
