Raw Earth Ink
spit, mixed with dirt – muddy words flow
Wandering Silence
this hurts because suddenly
in a moment of clarity
I realized that
while you are my person…
the perfect match for me
the only one I want for the rest of my days
the one who fulfills and completes me
the one who lifts me up and
helps me step outside myself
the one who stretches my mind and
makes me laugh like no other
the one who lets me say,
‘I’m done looking,
you’re it for me’
…the fact of the matter is
I’m not that one for you
I will never be what you need
and the moment I came to this
soul-crunching
heart-rending realization
part of me nearly burst inside
my heart is literally burning
in my chest
I set my pen to paper
but all that pours out is
wandering silence
I’ve told how I love you and now
things that were set in motion
are now set in stone
there’s no going back
there’s no going forward
it’s just me and my worthless words
and the night sky
stretching out to forever

Thanks Spirit. Here’s #mygifttoyou
You write the earthy elemental things, the lovely heart things, so beautifully. I wish, as I read your pretty poems, that I could write in such a way myself. I guess you could say, I’m a smidge jealous. ~tara
