PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I don’t need a better day

I need better fingers

to twist it and turn the smoke into art

I need to push the bitter out of my mouth.

I don’t need a better day

I need a better mind

I need a safe view where I don’t have to duck the bullets

where I can see the whole sky full of nothing I’m missing.

I don’t need a better hand

I need a better head

to hold you like you want

to make everything I’ve broken

whole again.

I don’t need a different way to love you

I need to wrap it around the words I say

like forever isn’t quite half the time I want here.
