PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Such a large chasm 

between loving you and creating a deserved home

is the fear of the next step? Or of the first? 

I simply know

the notion of you leaving now 

tears cardiac tissues like Kleenex 

like nothing I've felt in this forgone era

But wiser men before me

said plainly, 'Don't win her heart if you're not gonna relinquish yours'

To which i reply, 'It's already given. Now she needs to unearth it'

Under age and soil and the ghosts of loose morals

there's a root feeding every vital branch

encompassing every patriarchal hardship

Pleading with myself

but patiently standing at post

pining for her purview to proactively purchase

a shovel to reveal painted colors

an acrylic landscape of what life offers
