Division

I am an uncertain wellspring
Words bring
Shapes and colour. Some of these
I fling away unsatisfied
Others lie discarded
Like the crumpled carcass of
A paper cup or fly
In dizzy circles like autumn leaves.

I am a sleeping mountain
Thick ash compressed to hide
My rivers of emotion
Long since cooled.
Sometimes I burn the world around
Until my flames have died
Or leak choking smoke,
A cloak to hide me.

I am a stifled voice
A scarf of uncertainty muffles
The words I want to say
And hides my heart
But perhaps the scratching of my pen
Can manage what I am unable to do,
Can put a door in the walls that divide
Me from you.

assuming this is a serious inquiry, I suggest doing a bit of background check before expending any time or money.  Did you perhaps win a contest?

In your light I learn how to love

You dance inside my chest where
