PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Slips and slurs

I fall on the sidelines

Loosen my tongue

What came first…

was it the homeward bound

or the air in my lungs

Why hide your words?

Expletives unused,

but I’ll take your side

Need to be heard

We skip out on sleeping,

can’t stop the slide

Worlds fall away

I’ll give you a feeling

it’s not too late

And crazy’s okay

as long as the slips and slurs

all come out straight
