water made the thoughts linger

the willows trees bent forward
grieving for reach

winds caused 
a feeling contemplation

willpower ate the wails
burning to speak

vermilion hands
pearly fingernails
the fingers they clasp
and move forwards
when the water comes
to usher them along
into the plains
where sunsets bloom
and night bequeaths 
a silvery mane
they come home safe

moments that
kiss your lips
forever they
easily stay

when eyelids
close and
draw in lips
into a smile

five seconds
and stillness
that connect
your tomorrow

trained to test and asses,
in order to discard for the best

what you expect life to be,
is only half of what you can see

fracture and fragment,
eventually become stagnant

by constructing a ceiling,
you live without feelings

I cannot figure you out
circles inside squares,
I need to compensate
trying to fill your shape

you see through me 
thick walls, paper thin,
the moment I breath,
you catch my fall

staking claim
like a man
into a heart
born from stars

the viscosity
of yours tears
is too thick
to wade through

I grieve for
how you
purposely
choose misery

breath in the grass
each inhale draws in
the sun’s secrets

forget not the feel
upon your feet
each step listens

beating heart
don’t stop
fighting injustice
fighting for truth

to be brave
and face each truth
to look through
every ruse

the world is wide
and love is wild
grown from pain
nurtured by rain

forever the night 
recalls 
the way out
but there is no
going back 
into cages that encircle
what was meant to be free
