Hearten gnomes

Any image I project with these symbols we've grown to call our language

Are all summoned from my head

For my only experience is that of the same

Because little gnomes stand in my heart and see not the beauty

But a brick wall that stands high in my heart

Where division settles frequently 

Where hatred carresses my gentle soul

 

My love is hidden

This horse I have ridden

Many of times

I have been bitten

And the venom sends me to my demise

I file the files that reside in my eyes

And every new file leaves me defiled

I'll stay here awhile 

Because this vile

This bile

Has now become my nature

Any natural Living Has long ago been ceased

Never can I fold the paper in a balanced crease

My engines depleted of oil and grease

Friction and effort is what keeps me

And it's killing

It's killing

 

There's not a feeling more known 

To a fool stranded in his own home

As I move through the gallery I feel as if a drone

For it's not till later I understand it's beauty

Takes me a bit so please don't dismiss me

I have nothing to offer, not even a kiss, you see?

I'm a fool, a martyr, I have no purpose

My linked chains station me on an island of murkiness

I'm roasting

Slowly

There's nothing here that I perform boldly

Cowardice motions reoccuring boisterously and coldly

I have grown so lonely

And it's labeled my home

Destined to be a headcorner stone

For the builders refused

To use me

Such a stone tarnished with mold has no use

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Isn't it crazy to know, all

Isn't it crazy to know, all we've ever written and said has been based off the same 26 letters. So much for complex species right?

 Our souls are trapped behind sky high brick walls physically and metaphorically. I understand where you're coming from with this piece. 

Hah, My horse reared at me tuesday after 3 weeks of horsemanship. Crazy what the full moon can spice us up to do. There's more to this world. We all know it. There's so much more, and it needs to change so we can re grow it!

I agree, in order to do so we must start with ourselves. How can one regrow the world while still trapped in theirs?
