I finally did it!

[abbydabby]

I wrote a poem using nothing but my heart and soul... it's so hard to do anymore - it used to come to me so naturally. Let me know what you think - Mom, you too - this is just the first draft, I would definitely be open to constructive criticism! :)

Murmur
Sweet words
Mean nothing
Forever
Always,
Good pain
Always
Been the same.

I feel you
Growin closer,
I feel you
Holding out.
What happens
When it's over?
What happens
Now?

It's a shame
How I feel
When I don't know
In your head -
It's a shame,
Quick to judge...
I don't care,
Heart on your shoulder.

It's the same
Sweet murmur,
But I don't say
A damn thing real.

How do you feel
'Bout passion
Jettisoned on feathers?
How do you feel
'Bout poison
In its lonely noose?
How do you feel
That I can't say
Words of my own
To show you
You're the salt that soothes me?

You are
Coffee in the middle of the night,
You are
The strong beat that moves my feet,
You are
A woolen blanket on a winter night,
You are
Candy on Halloween,
You are
A whodunit that I can't put down,
You are
Nothing I could say could possibly mean -

Look in me.

Am I a mirror
Or something more peculiar?
An open book,
A page turner with no end?

Look a little more,
Read to me
All my idiosyncracies;
Look a little more,
Murmur to me
What I mean,
By your eyes...

Mmm...
I feel you
Growing closer,
Look a little more,
I feel you
Lockin open
My bricked-in door.

Give it to me,
New communication,
Give it to me,
That blissful ache.
I am inside,
Reaching through the atmosphere,
Give it to me,
The air I breathe.

Murmur
Sweet words
With your eyes,
I can see.
Look in me,
Show to me ...

You are
A forest full of trees,
You are
A new philosophy,
You are
The stem of a rose -
You are
Part of me.

I can feel you
Growing closer,
Everything has
Been the same.
Summer season's
Soon be over,
Autumn leaves
Soon bring change.

Murmur
Nothing.
