The more,
things are the same
the more,
they stay
away
from change.

These mirrors
of mist
that we’ve become,
spending
our time
sending,
up,
smoke signals
of black ink
and crumbs,
leaving our
trail
on
skies
that glow
this milky screen
of burning
snow
you’re staring at
right now
with hope,
that someone’s
eyes
will taste
the dreams
right through
the flesh
of silent
screams
and nourish
rich
liquescent
bliss
that moistens
lips
and finger
tips
under
skies
of sheet less
nights
tween
the wings
tucked full,
and tight.

This human
lack,
of com
before
passion,
no care
for those
with lesser
ration,
there is enough
to go
around
but still
our greed
just lets
then down.

This earth
it showers
us with food,
the one’s in need
though
we exclude,
the world
will eat us
for our
sin,
and swallow
us,
into
her skin.

Its kind
of funny
how all along
that we’ve been
looking
for
that song,
the perfect
verse
of melted
stars
that
signifies
just who
we are.

When all
along
that single
poem
that speaks
for us
in every
moan
has always
been
the one
we trust,
the rhyme
within,
in all
of us

It’s in
each step
we ever
take,
that letters
footprints
by the
lake,
it’s in
each pause,
that dimples
dirt
that makes
the comma
we insert,
it’s in each
word
that scratches
sand
and tears
we cry,
that drench
the land.

My poem
is written
in those
I meet,
and in
their essence
soft
and sweet,
its in
the hearts
I squeeze
of rain
and in
the souls
that never drain,
its penned
each time
we share
a kiss,
within
our minds
we can’t
resist.

The last
thing
that I need
of glory
is that one
mark
to end
the story.

Your kiss
is needed
to anoint,
my final
exclamation point!

You’re all
that I,
will
ever be,
you are
the words,
the words
of me.

In a way this reads like it is meant for someone very special, as well as everyone you ever met. I suppose that is the gift of poetry, to make one feel, and this makes me feel so nice.
