here's my favorite poem i have written:
The rain is pouring down again
the clouds too weak to hold in such expression
and I wonder if you see my mouth is weak
the breath that i draw in
does not account for much
except when you take it away
When i hold your hand
i wonder if you understand
it's my way of asking you to stay
Can you see me?
Do you see this?
Here am i on the ground
the air filled with a smell so sweet
my hair let down and wet with tears
and my mouth kissing your feet
Can you hear this passion?
I'm screaming in your ear
while curled up on the floor
adding to the silence here
My song is loud yet goes unsung
still i need you to hear me
without me moving my tongue
I need you to see me
while i lie at your feet
I need you to kneel here
and meet me where i am.
others:
Breath into me
then simply be, simply be
isn't it enough to be alive? truly alive?
Be still, be still
and hear what follows in the silence
trust the power of your knees
and sit on them a while
to simply be, simply be
the air is thick with anticipation
but no, don't move toward it
be still, be still
be calm and let your cares pass by
let them all pass away
and simply be, simply be.
